The Latest (including Peter)

Before we get to Richard this time, we have some news about Peter. He was in a car accident yesterday. He doesn't remember what happened. However, from what we can gather, there were skid marks on the road, leading into a farmer's field. He rolled the little Jeep Cherokee and ended upright again. It occurred on Paradise Lane near their house. They had to cut open the top of the Jeep and get him out that way. He went to LGH in an ambulance with his mother, who arrived at the accident after being called on the phone by a person who lived near the scene of the accident. He had tests and such while in the ER. He ended up with a cracked breastbone, a compressed vertebrae in his upper back, and some minimal bleeding in his brain (which is already on the mend). He will have to wear a brace around his torso for 3 weeks to a month. He is bruised and sore right now. Please remember him in your prayers as well. I guess when it rains, it pours in this family.

As for Richard, we are heading back for Round 7 (of 8!) on Monday evening. We just found out about an hour ago. This will be his last A Round. Thanks for the continued prayers!

AGain, thanks for the great update on the 2 Taraborelli young men!
Our prayer-life is certainly getting a work-out. God must be
tired of hearing from me, but I won't give up!
Sorry I won't be around to bring
soft pretzels during round 7! I will make up for it during round 8!
Give my regards to all - we will be in touch by phone!
Lots of love and hugs,
Aunt Paula

This blog has certainly been a Godsend for all who have been so very concerned about the Taraborelli family. Glad to hear that Peter is o.k. except for a few minor injuries. God was certainly with him ! I'm assuming he is home from the hospital. He will be included in my prayers for a speedy recovery.
Good luck, Richard D. with your next round. Wow! Only one more to go after this.
We love you and think of you often.
Regards to Mom and Dad.
Love, Aunt Helen

We are SO HAPPY that Peter had his guardian angel in the passenger seat and equally as happy that Richard is running the last lap. Even though it has been raining... everyone has been so truly blessed through it all!

Looked through some of the wedding pics and they are beautiful. Thanks for sharing them with us. When we have a free second we will enjoy going through the rest of them.

GOOD LUCK, Richard on Round 7 and we will catch up with you and Daphne when you return home.

Thank you, Daphne, for all these wonderful updates. You have certainly been kept busy.

Love to all from the Wright's!
