The Temple University student who was critically injured in a hit-and-run accident while riding her bike last month has been transferred to a rehabilitation hospital, according to her mother in a Facebook update.
Rachel Hall, 22, of Mullica Hill, New Jersey, was moved from Temple University Hospital to Magee Rehabilitation Hospital, Kathy Hall wrote on the Rachel Hall Temple Strong Facebook support page.
"[Rachel] is receiving physical, occupational, and speech therapy daily," said Mrs. Hall.
"She is not coherent, cannot speak or communicate, which is extremely frustrating," Hall added. "Rachel's progress is very slow. Every little thing she does is a great accomplishment. Just seeing her bite her lip one day, and yawning twice the next day feels so positive."
Currently, Rachel has tubes in her neck and stomach to assist with breathing and feeding.
Rachel Hall played lacrosse for Temple and was on track to graduate earlier this month, but has not regained consciousness since being hit by a car April 29 on Diamond Street near Temple's campus in North Philadelphia.
Rashan Roberts, 18, has been charged with hitting Rachel Hall and leaving the scene.
