Paige Raque, the Penn State Varsity Cheerleader who suffered serious injuries as a result of a fall from a 5th-story window on October 15, is still in the hospital recovering from her accident. Her brother, Parker Raque, has been providing updates from his Twitter account, @RaqueBalboa. Here’s the latest:
