James Forman Background & Resolution
An Up-date on Jim's condition: Jim's spirits are optimistic. Until Wednesday, he was walking a little, [especially during physical therapy]. Unfortunately, on Wednesday morning he fell and broke his collar bone. He is experiencing some pain but is able to feed himself and still has some level of independent mobility.
