I went to see Dana again on Friday. I printed all of these messages for him and read them to him. He cannot talk yet, but he was writing better and more animated with his head, eyes, and hands. And he expressed his appreciation after every post I read to him. There is a TV mounted on the wall of his room, so we joked that it was a great thing after all that Fox was carrying the race today. Unfortunately, his wife called this morning and I learned that they had sedated him today because he is not getting enough rest and he pulled out his breathing tube from his mouth last night again.

On Friday night he pulled it out because it was bothering him. Then he pulled it out again last night, so they have apparently tied his hands down and sedated him today. He is not yet getting enough oxygen without the tube in there I guess. Otherwise, he is doing better. He was more alert on Friday, and seemed to be stable and feeling better. Anyhow, that's the update.

Sorry I missed the GP live this morning; I was up very late and super busy this morning and yesterday.

 

Thank you for the update...
we are praying for him

 

+1

if you get a chance tell him he won me again in the fantasy league

 

Sounds like Dana is definitely a fighter and hopefully that fact will speed up his recovery if he gets some more rest.

Thanks for the update, Erich!
