Our friend Lara

This is about our friend Lara Hummel from our dance group this is the message we sent out to the group last night after we heard from her husband Bill:

Just got a call from Bill and he wanted me to pass on some news/an update to everyone. It seems that Lara had some sort of accident last Friday while in Bryce, VA at their vacation home. As she can not recall what happened we are not sure if she fell or what but she ended up outside in the snow and was found by a neighbor after maybe 30 to 60 minutes. Baby Leah was ok inside the house.
The result of this accident led to a broken back and some massive injuries to her feet. After successful surgery to fuse her back she is resting at the Hospital in Charlottesville Va. Just today Bill said that Lara has regained feeling in her fingers and toes. While Bill said that this is great news she faces a long, long road ahead of physical therapy to walk again. Lara's profession is in Physical Therapy, it is very likely she is well aware of what lies ahead. At this point Bill has indicated that she is in a significant amount of pain and is somewhat down. I guess that is to be expected. For the time being Bill will be out of touch as he is caring for Leah and Lara and has moved in with Tim.
(Tim’s another dance group friend guy who lives in Charlottesville.)

I’m still wrapping my mind around this but it definitely puts things in perspective and makes you realize that things can change in a moment. Very sobering to think that she was so active and peppy and will now be confined to a wheel chair and re-learning to walk. Please keep her in your prayers.
