I am very sad tonight. I received this news... I am Harry Brull’s daughter Jessica and am writing with some unfortunate news. This past Friday, September 14th, Harry had a serious crash while participating in Cycle Oregon. Although we're not entirely sure, witnesses report he may have lost control of the bike on a downhill portion of the ride. He was airlifted to a small hospital in Washington and then transferred to the trauma ICU at OHSU (Oregon Health and Science University) in Portland, Oregon. He has a severe brain injury along with a lung contusion, several fractures (skull, clavicle, multiple ribs), and quite a bit of road rash. Although he is still unconscious and on a ventilator, on the positive side, he is making some voluntary movement and trying to open his eyes, which points to cognitive function. At this point the prognosis is unclear, but we are hopeful. I set up a Caring Bridge website so that all of you can stay connected and updated on his condition and you can write messages of encouragement in return. I will be updating the site at least daily, or more frequently if we have new information. I will also share any messages from you all with mom (Myra) and the rest of the family.
