    Herman shares that Loretta is making steady progress with her recovery, much to his delight. "She’s doing remarkably well, considering everything she’s been through," he says with pride. Being treated near Nashville allows her to receive the best rehabilitative care possible, and Herman couldn’t be more thrilled with her advancements.

    “Initially, her left side was severely affected, leaving her partially paralyzed. But now, she’s regained enough strength to move around on her own, albeit with the assistance of a walker,” Herman explains. Despite these challenges, her progress is nothing short of inspiring. “She’s doing really well, and that’s what matters most,” he adds, his voice brimming with admiration for his sister.
