Update on Jen

Today Jen got an evaluation from her doctor and therapists and it looks like they want to Jen to complete a month of rehab at the hospital. She has already been in rehab for one week, so she is looking at three more weeks at Saint Al's. Bridger said she is pretty depressed, as she believed she may be released within the week. Now, looking at three more weeks of lots of therapy and being cooped up in her little room, she is feel pretty down, so please keep that in your prayers. The doctor says that she has a torn retina in her left eye and that it may heal itself. However, in the case that it doesn't, the doc thinks it could be corrected surgically. They will continue the physical, speech, and occupational therapy.

Bridger met with the prosecuting attorney yesterday. He found out that the man who ran the stop sign and hit Jen is only being charged with leaving the scene of the accident, which I think is absolutely absurd, but according to the prosecuting attorney, they aren't able to get him for anything else. Which means that he'll get a fine and maybe probation. Strange that someone can change others lives indefinitely, while their own life may go on as usual.

Bridger, Junie, my Mom, and even Abby, the golden retriever, are headed up this direction tomorrow to spend time with Jen. The doctors are allowing them to bring the dog in for therapy purposes. I'm sure Abby will be thrilled to see Jen again! Please pray for their safety as the drive back and forth this weekend.
