  the”big brain growth”achieved success, and the household is waiting for results of a biopsy. “We are grateful for the work and care of the medical staff assisting Greg through these challenges and for the issue and love poured out by many in the Louisiana, Arkansas and national sports neighborhoods,” the household said.” This suggests the world to us at this tough time.Editor’s Picks”Greg continues to fight, and we wait for more clarity on the extent of that battle.” Kelly stated Wednesday that Brooks,

a former Arkansas transfer, had been experiencing what was believed to be vertigo previously in the year but that it turned out to be a symptom of the tumor.Doctors discovered the brain mass after ordering an MRI 2 weeks earlier when Brooks suffered dizziness.Kelly has stated that Brooks informed him he was insistent about playing once again this year.

Kelly stated he saw Brooks on Monday during a” heavy rehabilitation”day which Brooks had the ability to make eye contact

and acknowledge him.”He was up on his feet and moving,”Kelly stated.”But still, there’s a long journey for him.”Arkansas coach Sam Pittman, who remained in town for the Razorbacks’game versus LSU on Saturday, said he was able

to go to the medical facility and go to Brooks. “We like him, “Pittman stated.” It was something I desired

to do and wished to reveal the family the regard they are worthy of.”
