I have been out of the loop for a bit, and just saw an article on her accident. I hope the girl is okay. Anyone have any updates about her condition?

I've looked around some, but all I found was that a go fund me was set up for her....

i remembered someone had asked about her when i saw the article....here's the latest.
and good news, she's started to get feeling/movement in one foot and now the lower leg. hopefully just the start of more positive news.

This from the Permanently Disabled Jockey Fund (PDJF) Facebook page:

"Oriana Rossi surrounded by fellow jockeys at Indiana Grand, PDJF Night, 9/12/15 — at Indiana Grand Racing & Casino.... injured jockey Oriana Rossi attended to help cheer on the IG jockeys in their tug-of-war contest against the valets. JOCKEYS WON!"

(hmmm... tried to add a photo, but I don't see. If you are on FB and go to the PDJF page, you will see her in a photo with fellow jocks. She is seated in a wheelchair, smiling).
