Jerry Continues to Improve and Will Be Going Home In About One Month

Reports from Brooks Rehab are very, very encouraging. Jerry is doing well. He is able to talk and make wisecracks - he is able to get up on the parallel support bars and "walk," and is taking food orally, etc. The current plan has Jerry going home in about one month.

If you want to visit Jerry at Brooks, please call his wife, Roz, first and clear the visit. But Jerry is having visitors and he is encouraged by his visitors.

We are all thankful to God for Jerry's progress.

Jerry Has Been Moved to Brooks Rehab in Jax

Jerry was moved from Shands in Gainesville Tuesday July the5th to Brooks Rehab center here in Jax! Brooks is a very good rehabilitation center where he will receive ongoing care and treatment.

Last week when Roz, Jerry's wife, told us about the anticipated move, she said that she'd even be allowed to stay at the facility with him and he maybe allowed visitors, as Roz feels appropriate.

If you'd like to keep sending cards, his new address is:

Eddie Jerry Cribbs
3599 University Blvd South
Jacksonville, FL 32216

He's still known under his true legal name so be sure to address it to Eddie Jerry Cribbs.

We'll try to keep you updated as we learn more or after we've been able to see Jerry.
