Please keep Chuck & Carol Shelton, and family in your thoughts and prayers as Chuck undergoes physical therapy and recovery. Chuck was seriously injured on August 10 and sustained some injury to his spinal cord. He is able to walk unsteadily, but so far has limited movement and strength in his arms, which is expected to improve. He has had surgery to fuse the vertebrae in his neck to prevent further injury to his spinal cord, and his many lacerations of his face and lips are all stitched up and healing well. We will obtain a physical therapy consult ASAP and go from there. I'm sure any cards and calls from you would lift his spirits. We will have a group card for everyone to sign on Wednesday.
