Hi all. Sorry we haven't sent any updates yet, but we actually haven't had any until this point.
So here's the news. Dana was scheduled to have his back operated on this morning pending the Dr's feeling of his vital stats. Around noon, the doctor decided his vital stats were stable and looking good enough to proceed with the operation. Dana was transported from the ICU to the Operating Room (OR). He was turned onto his stomach, which puts some stress on his body, and they watched his vital stats. Soon thereafter his vital stats jumped and the team felt Dana was not ready for the surgery. Therefore they have postponed the surgery until tomorrow morning.
On a lighter note, Dana was "wide awake" this morning. Courtney got a call from a nurse who advised she come over. Dana woke up and lipped, "Wife". So Courtney rushed right over and got a very responsive question/answer conversation. He was moving his whole arm, shaking his head, and giving thumbs-up.
Thanks so much to the wonderful nurses helping Dana hour by hour.... Megan, Patty, Jessimin, Megan, Bernie, Anotolli, Judy, and all the other nursing support staff. You are angels.............

Hello All,
Dana is such a warrior. After getting through all the surgery on Wednesday, no wonder he needs a little break. We think of you all the time. Our hearts, minds and prayers are with you. Hopefully we shall see you before too long. We have a special connection. Can't wait to see you. We will make it happen - even if it is part of the Boston - LA road trip.
Love from the Lakes
