Sara

Our world tilted slightly on it's axis on Thursday morning. Sara was at the wrong place at the wrong time and was struck by a car as she waited to cross a busy road in Camberwell. The good news is that she will be ok. She will need a while to recover from her injuries. She fractured her back in 4 places and ruptured her right glute. She is making wonderful progress. Once she gets discharged from hospital she will go to rehab for a little while. Then she'll come home to the farm to heal completely.
