Oct. 6, 2014 HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Below is a statement regarding Southern Miss baseball player Michael Gilbert from his parents, Bill and Melissa Gilbert:

My wife and I would like to express our sincere appreciation to the USM family. The prayers, visits, cards and calls have been such a blessing. We are humbled by the tremendous outpouring of love that has been expressed to Michael and our family.

Michael was moved out of the Neuroscience Critical Care Unit to a regular room on Sunday, and continues to show slow steady improvement. Without the prayers, love and personal contact shown by family and friends, this would not have been possible.

Thanks again, and we will continue to let you know how Michael is doing.

In Him,

Bill and Melissa Gilbert
