Maybe it's time to post up Carrie's PayPal address again. |

I passed on the money raised from Scream'n Eagle's Cinco de DrinkO shirt sales. Cory handed me a wad and I passed it on to the folks at OCTO... $250 or so I think it was.

| I just wanted to let everyone know that Greg was moved from Reche Canyon to a facility called Casa Colina last week! He is ready for acute rehab, so that is what he's getting now. He is getting 3 hours of therapy a day and he is responding really well. Casa Colina specializes in traumatic brain injury therapy, so this is very exciting for us! Casa Colina is in Pomona and Greg is in room 1107. Visiting hours are M-F 11-1 and 5-8, Sat and Sun 11-8. |

Here is a little of what Carrie posted on her face book, I cut out some of the more private things I always worry I might post something to private, this was posted in Sept…
Saying goodbye to my house...SO HARD!! As I close my front door for the last time, I'm closing a chapter in my life that I didn't want to close!
And this was posted last week…
Greg's discharge date has changed again! He's not coming home until Oct 18. His insurance is done paying as of tomorrow, Medically, he's perfectly fine to come home. He's just getting intense therapy right now. They're working with him on walking, using the restroom, dressing himself, memory, handwriting, etc. When he comes home he will only get therapy 2 or 3 times a week. Right now he's getting 5-6 hours everyday!
Ok Samba people Lets keep the prayers and donations coming in Greg's still has a long way to go. |
