Tom spoke with Bob's wife and she said "she talked to a Dr. and is somewhat encouraged that the swelling seemed to have decreased even more in his brain."
They have had to remove part of the skull plate to relive even more of the pressure.
They don't know whether it was a concussion, or if shrapnel in fact hit the brain.
It will be 48 to 72 hours before we know for sure what the prognosis is likely to be.
He took some shrapnel in the neck and has a broken collar bone and ribs.
BUT he did talk immediately after the attack.

I still miss Michael Kelly.
May he forever rest comfortably and in peace.
Well, he has a new perspective now. I wonder how long it will take him to blame Bush for not warning him that standing up in the hatch of a Soviet made APC while in convoy could result in injury or death.
This story was not worthy of the coverage it received. Woodmuff is being treated like a potential MOH recipient by his colleagues. But when was the last time any of them mentioned acts of heroism and bravery on the part of our troops? When was the last time Woody and friends mentioned the award of a Navy Cross or Silver Star and the real heroes who earned them?
I hope the Journalist are OK, but the way I see it, the IED took them out of the picture before they had a chance to stab our troops in the back with another round of bad reporting.
Is this Bob Woodruff related to that older Bob Woodruff, or to that walking skeleton Judy Woodruff?

ABC's Bob Woodruff Reluctant to Label Hamas a Terrorist Group
Posted by Brad Wilmouth on January 26, 2006 - 00:42.
On ABC's World News Tonight on Wednesday January 25, anchor Bob Woodruff showed some reluctance to label Hamas as a terrorist organization outright, but instead qualified the label by calling it a "militant" group "which the U.S. calls a terrorist organization." Woodruff also referred to Hamas once as a "radical group" and once simply as a "group."
During the opening teaser, while previewing a story on the Palestinian elections, Woodruff announced: "It's been an historic day in the Middle East. Palestinians voting for their future. The radical group Hamas gains strength and gets a warning from the Bush administration.
No matter what this guy's reporting track record, he didn't deserve this and I pray he makes a full recovery.
