Dear Friends,

Jerry has been at Brooks Rehabilitation in Jacksonville since July 5. We feel truly blessed to be here. Brooks’ superior services and compassionate care have been a source of comfort and hope for our family.

Jerry has 4 ½ hours of therapy Monday through Friday. He has made tremendous gains and his doctor and therapists are extremely pleased with his progress. His estimated discharge date is August 17.

Our next stop is “Home Sweet Home.” Jerry will continue outpatient rehabilitation through Brooks in St. Augustine. We believe in Jerry’s full recovery and continue to praise God for the great things he has done and continues to do for us.

Once again we want to THANK YOU for your prayers, cards and visits. You are welcome to come see us at the river!


God Bless You,
Rosiland, Kyle and Leslie Cribbs

August 3, 2005 Update

Several friends who have visited Jerry at Brooks Rehab have reported how well he is doing - he gets outside in a wheelchair to enjoy the day in between undergoing intensive physical rehab.

It is still expected that he will be able to go home by the middle of August. Roz will take him back to Brooks for continuing physical therapy on an out-patient basis.
