Here’s an update from Jenna’s husband, James Gunn, regarding her injury this week:

Jenna is in some pain, but she’s doing okay. There is no permanent damage, thank God, but she fractured her back in 4 places. She will be okay in time to shoot the new season of The Office, and she just got done shooting Walk Hard. So, as far as good times for breaking your back, now is it.

We’re very very appreciative of all the fan support. The notes are very nice.

A few people have inquired about sending care packages, etc. Please don’t! We are overwhelmed with flowers, snacks, gifts, and just plain stuff! We definitely don’t need anything else.

If people really want to do something, just make a small donation to Rover Rescue in Jenna’s name. Some people have already done this and it’s really appreciated!

As you may have heard by now, Jenna Fischer sustained a serious injury on Monday in New York when she fell down marble stairs. (Which cancelled her appearance on Conan last night.)

From E! Online’s Kristin Veitch:

I’ve just spoken with Jenna Fischer’s representative who confirmed to me that the Office star slipped and fell down a marble staircase on Monday and fractured her lower back in four places.

Jenna was hospitalized Monday night and is now resting in her hotel room until she can regain enough strength to fly home to Los Angeles. She is expected to recover in about four to six weeks.

Please join me in sending Jenna the very best of wishes for a speedy recovery!
