This is the official update on Donna Fargo’s health status by Stan Silver:
Since her stroke on December 4, Donna has gone from ICU to a rehabilitation hospital. She is receiving speech therapy and undergoing occupational and physical therapy. She is also getting help with her handwriting. The stroke was on the left side of her brain, so her right side is affected more than her left.
She is expected to be released from the hospital next week and continue with every phase of the rehabilitation therapy. She is discouraged but trying to remain hopeful.
She appreciates your sweet words, prayers, and positive thoughts and well wishes. She wishes you all a very merry Christmas and a happy 2018. For those of you who have ordered her cds, books, and 2018 calendars, etc., she appreciates your understanding that at this phase of her recovery, she is unable to autograph anything.
Thank you again for your prayers.
