In a video obtained by TMZ on May 5, Richard provided an update on Craig's health. "Craig is home. He is out of the hospital, for now," said Richard. Sadly there are more surgeries in Craig's future, as his doctors realized they couldn't fix all of his problems in one go. "There was just too much," explained Richard.

Craig is still in a fair amount of pain, but his spirits are up. "Now he's telling me what to do with moonshine again," joked Richard. "Craig's coming back, y'all," he promised. "Those prayers are really working. We appreciate it so much." The silver lining that Richard is focusing on is how his community has really rallied around them both during this difficult time.

"This goes to show me that Moonshiners is not just a television show. Moonshiners is an institution," Richard said with gratitude. "I'm very proud to be part of that, and I'm proud to be able to bring my little brother with me." He then thanked the viewers again, and assured everyone that more updates were on the way. "Y'all definitely keep shining. Y'all keep praying, and keep believing, because I believe he's gonna be OK," said Richard.
