Several of you have asked about Mara, so I thought I'd give you an update--but I wish it could be more positive. Mara has been doing daily physical therapy sessions at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta for the last two weeks. Shepherd is considered one of the very best facilities in the world for treating spinal and nervous system disorders and accidents.
Even with that level of care, Mara's progress has tapered off considerably. Just three weeks ago it looked very much like she would be able to attend her high school graduation and even walk to receive her diploma. That seems to now be an impossible dream and it is not likely that she will even be able to attend, as the logistics of transporting her to an event like that are very difficult and risky to her safety.
Please keep up your good vibes for her and her family. It has become a very long and difficult struggle for them in so many ways, and they need all the support they can get.
