At a press conference yesterday, Lee Roy spoke about Travis' medical condition. Travis is not doing well at the present time and has been suffering from a very serious bed sore near his tailbone. Attempts to close the sore have been made repeatedly, but it reopens under only slight stress each time it appears that it is sufficiently healed. This has prevented Travis from being able to progress to more useful and helpful physical therapy. It was also mentioned that Travis has lost about 40 pounds, almost a quarter of the 166 pounds he weighed when he arrived at BU. He also had a sudden loss of weight recently, which has again required that he take food directly into his stomach via a feeding tube. "Travis took a turn for the worse yesterday in his road to recovery, unfortunately. This is about the 90th day that he's been flat on his back, and they thought he'd be sitting up by now. We are right back to ground zero," Lee Roy was quoted saying in the Boston Globe. Mr. Roy also was quoted saying, "It is very, very grueling for Travis. It is very, very tough on him mentally. He needs to feel good about something in his rehabilitation, but again... that was difficult yesterday. But he's a gritty kid. He's a fighter."
