This was posted by Chris, Jantz' dad, over at ProRide, as he is a regular there...

"This is Chris, Jantz's dad... I wanted to first thank everyone for the heartfelt prayers for Jantz. I need to ask everyone the favor of including Jantz in your prayers as we move through this painful journey. Jantz sustained a devastating brain cell and spinal cord injury. He was wearing a layete brace and shoei helmet. We left the hospital last night with zero hope from the doctors of his survival chances. His heart stopped at the track and he was pronounced brain dead at the hospital with no response. He was however put on life support until we decided on the options available that I hope none if you ever half to face. A short while ago we received a call from the doctor that a miracle took place this morning at 6:30am that Jantz's "condition has changed significantly" he is responding to eye commands, left to right, up and down and raise your eyebrows. Still no other responses other than this. Given what we were told this is truely a miracle. The thoughts and prayers shared here and on Facebook are what have helped him to make a move off the line. The race for recovery is just beginning and we can only pray that God will pull him through. May god bless each of you and your families. The Grodzicki Family...."

I deleted a bunch of stuff in that thread regarding track safety and some of the bickering. We'll leave it up for now.

Leave it up. John Choate was told by Jantz sister exactly what Jantzs dad said...he was considered brain dead with no chance. It wasn't posted as a rumor.
Instead of worrying about a post we should all be praying and thanking god this young man may pull through. I have a hard time even responding to these posts as I worry about Joey at every race now. I love his racing and am super proud of him....but everyday wonder if he should just walk away. Its tough

That's great news.

All you can do is pray. I've worked in ICU's and this really does not look good. At his age he definitely has a better shot than the majority of people who go into cardiac arrest but if his spinal chord is snapped the ventilator is probably the only thing that is enabling him to breathe right now. All you can do is pray and I can't imagine what his family is going through right now.

Haven't heard anything recently. For those who believe, and my family does, please keep praying for this young man and his family.

No need for attacking each other here. People feel bad for the kid and his family, it comes out different for us all. Reed between the lines arguments heros.

Hope the kid recovers, I can't imagine the fear, pain his family and friends are feeling. I hope they get some support.

As much as I love moto... I hate this side of it just as much... At this point it's not looking good for Jantz it's very saddening. It's another sad day as this young man is losing a battle for his life from doing what he loved... The few times I talked to him in the pits he seemed to be polite good hearted young man.. God speed little moto grom.

From Jantz' Dad, Chris Grodzicki; Unfortunately Jantz' injuries are too severe to survive. He suffered a severed spinal cord at the base of his skull and it is improbable that he can recover. The body can not survive with this damage. The family will take him off life support in the next day or so. Godspeed #96!
