Brooke fell down a straw hole at the family farm and suffered a  burst fracture in her L1 vertebrae.

Journal entry by Jacki Meinert

This will probably be our last post. Brooke continues to improve each week. She is still going to therapy once a week. She still has tingly feet but hopefully that will eventually heal. Brooke started a full time job about two weeks ago and so far everything is going well. She is definitely tired at the end of the day but her body has been handling it well. Brooke is also starting to gain some of her weight back that she lost since the accident, which is good! Hopefully everything continues to improve! Thanks again to everyone who has been part of this journey with us, we can't thank everyone enough for all the support and love!
