We arrived in NJ late Thursday afternoon.  Ralph's mom is in an acute rehabilitation facility wearing a turtle shell apparatus to keep her spine straight and also to help with the broken rib.  She has OT, PT, gait training, and speech therapy every day and is coming along.  She is disheartened about the second accident, as had it not occurred, she would be going home tomorrow.  

 

She will be evaluated on Saturday, October 20 to determine the next step.  If she has progressed well enough to go home, she will.  If not, she will return to the secondary rehab facility where she was injured for 10 days.  Thank you for your prayers for her.  Please pray for wisdom for Ralph to make the appropriate decisions on her behalf.  Thank you.
