Harlene

Thanks everyone for your email and concerns. Harlene is strong and is getting better everyday! She was sitting up, using her strong abs to get up, walking a few steps unassisted, and is certainly happily entertaining visitors! She may be released tomorrow, but I am not sure yet. If she goes home, she will need help as she has broken ribs and a broken scapula and it is her right side. Trying to make a left side dominant is difficult when you are "right sided". Right now she is in room 3123. Thanks, Sheri

Oh noooo. I'm so sorry. Let me know what I can do. Please let us know what happened. B Sent from my LG Optimus G Pro™, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone ------ Original message------ From: Sheri Leiken via announce Date: Mon, Jun 12, 2017 6:25 PM To: Bart Ziegler; Cc: CVC announcements; Subject:[cvc announce] Accident update As many of you know, and in case you did not know, Harlene Roen had an accident yesterday leaving for the social ride. The cause is unknown, but it was terrifying for many who were there. This had nothing to do with a car. She is in the hospital in ICU, (Los Robles) and will be released within a day or two but has multiple injuries and will require much help. She is not able to return texts very well, but she certainly can read them and is thankful. We can talk about how to help once she is released. I will keep everyone posted on her condition. Sincerely, Sheri Leiken
