Hi all from the Carr Waiting Room. We have good news to deliver.
It was just moments ago that one of the Orthopedic doctors left the room after delivering the best news we've heard yet. He relayed to us that as he entered the operating room, Dana's femur had already been plated and screwed and was ready for his part. Because Dana was tolerating the surgery so well he began to operate on Dana's forearm. Again, more plates and screws were inserted and Dana was wrapped up and sent back to his room in the ICU. Although Dana will have more surgeries to come in these areas, he seems to be tolerating them well and we have no doubt that further surgeries will be just as successful as these were. So as Dana is resting up, we are filled with happy thoughts and we thank you all again for your warm wishes and prayers.
P.S. Give yourselves an extra couple hours when travelling with Dana as he passes through the metal detectors.
