Damn, impaled an eye!? How the hell did that happen?! On my high school team, we had a guy who forgot to take his retainer out before practice and it ended up getting lodged in his throat during a live go. Perry has really excelled at freestyle, hopefully he can fully recover and get back after it
“3-6 month recovery time for Perry to regain his cognitive abilities and full control and motion on his left side.” Hoping he has a quick and full recovery.
Our hearts go our to this young man and his family.
Wrestling is about coming back after a loss, and I know that Perry will come back.

Funds raised exceed $87,000 so far. Let's keep it going.
Thread deserves a bump. Over $120,000 raised so far. Good to see the extended wrestling family rising to the occasion.
He has an infection of some sort but it's not meningitis which was what they had originally said.He did have a seizure a few days ago but the results showed it didn't do any further damage.His fever is going away so some good signs.But he's still not moving his left side (did move his left hand today) and still has a feeding tube.The road to recovery will be a long one but if anyone can do it Rich can

Update from Gina -
“Update: God is moving mountains and the power of prayer is SO real I cannot put into words how thankful I am for each and every single prayer you’ve all said for Rich, myself and our family ❤️ GOD IS SO GOOD.
Another day spent awake and alert today! We got a handful of smiles and even a few laughs. Rich spent a lot of time today looking at pictures of the kids and watching all of the videos that were sent to us or previously recorded. He is doing so great and surgery is finally planned for Monday morning WHEN all goes well with surgery we will spend 2-3 days in the ICU and then head to the Proactive Care Unit for a few days before... get ready for it.... HEADING TO PHILADELPHIA where Rich will do his Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation. Can we just get a Hallelujah?! I mean seriously. Totally trusting God for a complete recovery ❤️
I am so grateful for my husband and his strong faith in God; knowing that is where he draws his strength from gives me such peace of mind because I know how powerful and mighty our God is. He has never failed us ❤️ Please send prayers that Rich continues to draw his strength from the Lord, that the Vasospasm’s continue to decrease and Rich has another great day tomorrow!
Love to you all!

Getting back in the groove ... great to see!
Over $137K so far! Praying for a full and speedy recovery!
Thing of beauty! Keep the hero inside you to help with rehab. Perry has three kids. Hope he gets better soon.
