Update 3/8:
On behalf of the entire Trettel Family, thank you all so much for your support and concern for Ian in this very difficult time. I am going to keep this brief and to the point, again without compromising our families privacy but doing what we think Ian would want us to do right now. However, you can expect an official family statement to be released in the next day.
Ian remains in a medically-induced coma to protect him from the ill effects of post-traumatic brain swelling. On Monday afternoon he underwent a surgical procedure to allow his brain additional room to expand until the swelling resolves; the bleed in the right side of his brain is also stable and unchanged. This morning his condition was stable and the surgery appears to have been largely successful. Now we all just have to wait and stay hopeful.
The ICU staff at Halifax continues to monitor all of his vital signs and adjust his moment-to-moment care as needed. At this time it remains essential for Ian to be in a quiet and calm environment so that his brain can rest, and we are doing our best to respect that need. As I have said before, we remain very positive but cautiously optimistic as Ian's road ahead will be long and difficult. It is far too early to think about a prognosis but we have good reason to be hopeful.
Your continued support and thoughts are so greatly appreciated. Stay positive everybody and let's get Ian through this!
- Joe Trettel Jr., on behalf of the entire Trettel Family

Ian Trettel Update
DAYTONA BEACH, FL (March 10, 2011) – The following is an update from the family of Ian Trettel regarding the condition of the Rockstar Energy Suzuki rider following his practice crash last weekend at the Daytona Supercross . . .
“On Saturday, March 5th, Rockstar Energy Suzuki rider Ian Trettel sustained a head injury during practice at the AMA Supercross event in Daytona, Florida. He was quickly taken to Halifax Medical Center, where he was placed in a medically-induced coma. The accident caused bleeding as well as swelling in his brain and both have been stabilized with medical and surgical interventions. At this time, Ian remains in critical condition, but he is now stable and we expect his condition to improve from this point forward.”
“We have good reason to be hopeful that Ian will make a terrific recovery. However, it is too early to discuss his prognosis, so we will continue to remain cautiously optimistic. Ultimately, it will be Ian's remarkably strong will, perseverance, dedication, and support from his family and friends that will pull him through the rehabilitation process.”
“We thank all of you for your continued support and ask that you maintain optimism and hope. Like he has done so many times, Ian will bounce back from this and we shall all be by his side to fight with him.”
-- The Trettel Family

Get well soon Ian.
You have lots of people that have you in their thoughts and prayers.
Luke's story, as with the story of Big's friend, isn't meant to lessen the seriousness of Ian's situation or to offer false hope; but rather to provide examples of positive outcomes which may, in some small way, give a little comfort to Ian's family and friends at this dark time.
