Car Accident (September 16, 2021)

Ray was progressing well.  Mizzou had started him throwing at 30 ft. and the plan was to progress to 180 ft., and then he'd go to the mound.  He had gotten to about 150 ft..  On Sept. 16, a car pulled out in front of Ray in a 45 mph zone, and Ray t-boned the vehicle.  The force of the impact re-injured Ray's shoulder, and another MRI was ordered.  Thankfully, the repair appeared to remain in tact - but it was back to square one with rehab and throwing.  It was such a discouraging accident, tears were shed by Ray and me both! :(

Ray returned to throwing (30 ft.) mid-November.  He has done a tremendous job building up the strength in his lower body, and this has really helped keep him in shape and speed his throwing recovery (less strain on the shoulder, as Dr. Smith indicated).
