Richards update!!

Hello. My name is Sheryl Bass. My sister is Rhonda Richards, ex-wife of Bobby, and mother to my adorable nephew, Billy. She asked that I update everyone on her and Billy's behalf. She has been in Ohio with Bobby since last Saturday (her 2nd trip). Over the past week, Bobby's condition has improved in that he looks good, responds well to commands (especially from Rhonda), no more fever, no more infection, no more drugs, etc. His therapists even had him sitting on the side of the bed and in a certain type of chair the last several days. His doctor has given him the ok healthwise to fly back home to Colorado springs. He will be departing Riverside hospital in Columbus, Ohio on Monday, November 6th, and will go straight to a rehab facility. The docs have indicated it will be a good 6 months of intense rehab before they will even know what the result of his brain injury will bring. We are all keeping our fingers crossed, obviously, for the very best outcome!! FYI: the rehab facility is called Select Specialty Hospital in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Pikes Peak Blvd. (not sure of address or phone number at this time...more info. will follow). for anyone who would like to donate in some way to help with bobby's medical expenses, please send payments to: Bank of America, TX5-568-01-01, 9245 Highway 6 South, Houston, Texas, 77083>>made payable to the Robert S. Richards Medical Fund>>Account #005865686172. Thanks so very much to everyone for their kindness, thoughtfulness, and prayers. They are all more graciously appreciated than you will ever know. thank you, Sheryl
