From want I can gather, they woke Johnny up yesterday from his coma and he was breathing on his own and also moving his hands and making small gestures. But, during being awake, his brain started to swell. They placed him back into an induced coma.

Today, he was supposed to be taken back out of his coma again. I haven't heard anything else. Just hoping for the best.

I'll be sure to update when I know more fellas.

Thanks, am awaiting an update, hopefully a positive one.

Just for the record, Johnny is not awake. He has not been awake since the accident. They have been trying to lower the sedation medication with no success yet. He still has machines breathing for him, which is still considered lifesupport. We are hoping he will show some signs of improvement soon. We miss his laugh!

Ryan Lockhart just posted this: "Just got some great news. Johnny is out of the induced coma. That's all I have but will give a full update in the morning"

Anyone know if this is fact?

"Hello to all of the Motocross community! I am Johnny Montes sister. I know everybody is quite concerned and wondering how he is doing. Well, we are on day 6. Wednesday morning he was in a car accident on the way to work. Truck rolled twice and he was ejected from the vehicle. He has not yet been awake, he is in a highly induced coma and machines are breathing for him. He has 3 broken vertabrae in his neck, 3 broken bones in face, shattered left wrist, severely bruised lungs, and alot of staples in his head. On friday they tried to reduce his sedation meds to see how his brain would respond. The brain began swelling and the pressure in the brain went up, so the meds were increased again. Sunday night he spiked a fever which was still an issue as of last night. They believe pneumonia is setting in to his lungs. Fingers crossed it isnt as he doesnt need to add fuel to the fire. Yesterday's CT Scan showed no changes but they decided to try again to lower sedation meds, as of last night brain pressure was remaining the same. Once I talk to them today I am hoping to have more information to share. Thanks for being so patient and supportive."

off Lockharts Facebook

"Monty update
Things seem to be better today, they did a CT SCAN and it came back looking good, all his vitals are normal. They tried taking him out of the induced coma and he was able to lift his arm and wiggle toes. After about 10min his brain started to swell so they thought it would be better to but him back in the induced coma. This is good news to me and the biggest thing is that he is Breathing on his own much better. I feel alot better about things now. They will take him out of the induced coma tomorrow again and see what happens."
Awesome news

We got some movement today. Hands, legs and a little bit of head movement. Not awake yet, but its coming I am sure of it.Still on breathing machines but just for assistance. He is doing most of the breathing himself. Very exciting news for a change.

Glad to hear, I'll keep him and his family in my prayers throughout the rest of this.
