According to the 11 o'clock news on channel 7, they say that Exter is back in critical condition, but hockeyeastonline.com, from the 7pm update has is condition at serious, but stable. I hope channel 7 had outdated info.
Get well Joe.

OK, I'm watching Sports Final on Channel 4, and they said Exter was in serious condition right now. From what the reporter said the 72 hours after the injury are very important when head trauma is the condition. He said there was swelling associated with the injury. We all need to pray that the swelling goes down, because it sounds like that is a key to Exter's recovery.

I don't know if this applies in this instance...
but in the case of head trauma, some times a fractured skull is the best remedy to relieve this swelling...
in my hometown, a young boy fell out of a second-story window and cracked his head on the sidewalk.. the fractured skull was probably the one thing that saved his life, as it allowed a place for the swelling to go......

Joe,
I have never met you. I do not know your family. I have never seen either you or your team play. Before Friday night, I did not know you existed. Your life and mine are nearly 1000 miles apart. But this weekend, I find myself thinking of you often, and I am not an especially sentimental person. Maybe this is because, in this short time, I and other strangers like me have come to know you as the kind of person we value as a friend, family member, or teammate. Fight, Joe. Fight and win this battle. And if the collective thoughts of others like me count in this game, then there's nothing but home jerseys on the ice and the fans have all come for you. Fight and win, Joe.

This is exactly what so many of us are feeling, burd. Someone should inscribe this message on a card and send it to Joe and his family at Beth Israel.
I'll do that, and bring it with me to work tomorrow... and drop it off to his family.

Have there been any more updates on Joe's status?

FYI,
I have been told that Joe is being kept in a coma intentionally at this time.
I guess that this is a good thing. That he would come out (though not necessarily recover) if they allowed him to.
GET WELL JOE! WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY.

The road to recovery might be a long and hard one, but remember, Joe, you got a whole lotta people rooting for you.
Here's to a speedy and full recovery.
God Bless,
