Update on Chris Hemmer - (Chris is well known and loved thru out the US. He is a DJ and dance professional. This is a letter from DJ Vicki. She updates us on Chris's recovery from his recent automobile accident). - Chris is now in rehabilitation at St. Marys Hospital (Florida).  He is still in a "Halo" and will be for a couple of months or more, most likely.  The break in his leg was more severe than I was originally told.  He broke the larger shin bone, so he cannot put any weight on that leg until it heals.  He can stand with assistance and is learning to get around in a wheelchair.  He is breathing and eating well on his own now. Chris has physical therapy everyday to make him stronger.  He is speaking well and is in good spirits (has he ever been any other way?).  He smiles and laughs often.  His daughters came to visit him this weekend and he had a wonderful time with them. Chris can have visitors, but he does get tired pretty easily, so if you come to visit, please just be aware of that.  He has a rigorous schedule with physical therapy every day. Chris is still getting better each day.  He has made leaps and bounds the last week.  I still continue to read cards and emails to Chris and will continue to as long as they keep coming in.  He can now read them himself too. If you'd like to send a card or note to Chris, my address is:

Vicki Fearon, 8703 Indian River Run, Boynton Beach, FL  33437
