Hi Members, I spoke with Jeremy’s wife at length today. The hope is that he gets out of the hospital in the next day or two. He has suffered a back fracture, shoulder issue, and many facial and mouth injuries. She says it will be a long recovery with further surgeries ahead. They both thank you for your support and are appreciative of everyone’s thoughts and prayers.
