Yesterday Dana spent most of the day "awake". We put that in quotes because we don't want you to get the impression he fully understands or remembers what's going on. He'll shake his head yes/no when answering questions and wave his hand or give a thumbs up occasionally. But that's about it. After being so alert for almost 18 hours, he finally dozed off and had a peaceful night's rest.
Dr. D checked him out this morning and felt everything looked great. This morning they were able to put him into a reclinable chair. He looks really comfortable and appears to be a bit tired. That's a good thing after yesterday's activity.
So today we're keeping a small distance (the distance from the ICU room to the waiting room) from Dana for him to rest up.

Yeaaa Dana!!!
Glad to read about all the progress, especially the back surgery and being out of bed in the recliner! We think about you all every day and send all the energy we can spare. Hope the spirit of that is still with you in the most positive zone in Albany Med - Dana Central outside of SICU.
