It sounds like Ty is all clear and doing a lot better. Close call for sure. Here’s an update from Federal…
“JJ has been in touch and the update looks good. All Ty’s MRI/cat/head scans all came back clear, and the bottom line is the docs are happy and he is doing good. Ty is a warrior and he’s stable in the hospital, our thoughts continue to be with him. Our Best Wishes and thoughts also go out to Mark Love who has his ACL surgery today – Good Luck with the surgery today Mag !” – Federal
