In a moment of carelessness, Stephany slips on the wet back deck while changing the sprinkler in her bare feet and takes a bad fall.  She dislocates her knee and also ends up with a shoulder separation, small fracture on the end  of her collarbone and lots of pain and bruises. So much for kayaking for awhile but the rv trip to Alaska in August is still on!

Medical Updates

Curt Heath
 Cu
rt continues to recover. He has most of the feeling back in his legs and only one numb spot left in his right foot. He still has to use crutches and a wheelchair as the nerves in his legs still haven't caught up with his brain yet but he is steadily improving and in good spirits.
newspaper article 

Esther Libin
Esther has been hospitalized at Tarzana Medical Center for treatment of her breathing difficulties.

Herb Libin
Herb has been transferred to the skilled nursing care facility attached to Encino Hospital. He remains in serious condition. The staph infection in his lungs remains resistant--at this point it is not getting better or worse. He remains dependent on the respirator which is connected through a trach tube although he can be off it for short periods of time and a feeding tube.  He also requires periodic blood transfusions to keep his blood oxygenated.
