Another week went by.

This morning Mike had an EKG and CT scan. There was no swelling or fluid, which is great. However, we also told that Mike's eyesight may be damaged, due to the previous brain swelling.

Christian van Hanja is competing in a Canon photo contest. His photo is of a flatland rider taken in SoCal. If we can help keep these things in the hands of BMX-ers that would be great.
