CASPER, Wyo. (AP) - An Australian bull rider who was severely injured after being stepped on by a bull during the College National Finals Rodeo in Wyoming has been showing signs of improvement.
On Monday, Bradie Gray gave a thumbs up sign to his parents.
However, Gray remains in critical condition in the intensive care unit at Wyoming Medical Center in Casper.
A member of the Odessa College rodeo team, Gray was injured after being stepped on by a bull during Thursday’s competition. He suffered broken ribs, a torn aorta and collapsed lungs.
Odessa coach C.J. Aragon tells the Casper Star-Tribune (https://bit.ly/2siHgkD ) that the Hallsville, Australia, native is making small improvements.
A post on the team’s Facebook page says Gray gave his parents a thumbs up sign and is trying to communicate by writing.
