Josh Beecroft Recovery Updates

December 17, 2017 It's been another two weeks since our last post. It was a rough two weeks for Team Josh -- maybe the first time in this nearly six-month ordeal where we felt like Josh regressed. Things are looking a bit better as we type this but we'll have to see if that trend continues. Two weeks ago we were in a four-car accident while visiting family in Washington, DC.
