ATLANTA (AP) – U.S. Rep. Tom Graves’ son was critically injured while competing in a race with Georgia Tech’s cycling team on Sunday morning.
The Republican congressman said on Twitter on Monday that his son John was injured during a cycling event in Calhoun, Georgia and airlifted to a trauma center, where he remains in intensive care.
“He’s a strong boy and is showing signs of responsiveness,” Graves said.
Graves addressed the status of his son’s improvement in a tweet Tuesday stating that he is gaining strength and beginning to ask questions.
John’s strength is returning and he’s showing improved signs of responsiveness and beginning to ask questions. We are thankful for these positive developments as John continues with his recovery. Thank you for all of the well wishes and prayers. They are so appreciated.
