Columbus, OH — Meadowlands executive and USTA director Jason Settlemoir has offered the following update on driver Brett Beckwith’s recovery on his Facebook page:
Brett’s mother, Melissa Silverman Beckwith, has been messaging each day keeping me updated on Brett’s condition.
Brett had his mouth wired shut yesterday (Friday, April 17). That went fine, but when Brett woke up, he was in pain and wasn’t feeling well, and his blood pressure did spike for a bit. Everyone decided it was best for Brett to spend the night (Friday) in the hospital.
Brett was released today (Saturday, April 18) to return home and is resting well (sleeping for the most part) at this point. Melissa reminded Brett that all the major surgeries are done now and it’s his time to rest and recover.
On Thursday, April 30, Brett goes to the doctor for his wrist, and on Friday, May 1, the wires come out. Thank goodness and he will just get rubber bands on his jaw. Hopefully by tomorrow (Sunday, April 19), the pain is better!
Brett and his family thanks everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages of support. Continue to pray for Brett and his full recovery. I will update everyone as his mother requests. Again, there is no timetable on a return for Brett, but knowing Brett it’ll be sooner rather than later.
