Hi all-- STL caller and dance writer of contras and ECDs Bob Green was in a bad accident three weeks ago. This afternoon, his daughter Sarah posted another encouraging report...

We have officially hit the 3 week mark since dad's (Bob's) accident. He is celebrating by sleeping all morning, something his body desperately needed. His prognosis remains hopeful but he has a very long road ahead of him. We continue to be thankful that he was wearing his seat belt and his iPhone detected the crash and called 911. He has had some amazing people caring for him in the ICU but we are nearing time to move to the next phase in his recovery at a Long Term Acute Care Hospital (LTACH). We don't have an exact timeline on that but probably sometime next week. I have become decent at reading his lips as that continues to be the easiest way for him to communicate. Continued prayers and well-wishes are appreciated. His physician daughter and sped teacher daughter, who specializes in students with complex access needs, (read also part ot/pt/slp provider) are on top of his care and therapies. So, please be assured that we are ensuring that he is well taken care of. Going forward, updates will likely be infrequent as progress is anticipated to be slow.

... and that means I'll be posting reports less frequently. However, once Bob is able to take visitors, I'll make sure you get personal reports from me. I don't live in STL, but am there at least once a month... I'll try to find out about when and how to contact Bob yourselves, and pass that on when I know it's okay.... So glad that it's looking like he'll be able to reclaim much of his "being" from before the accident. Keep thinking positively, friends.
