Dana rested today and his vitals are still looking good. If his vitals are stable in the morning the neuro surgeon will consider repairing his displaced vertebrae. If not Dana will rest until Monday and then undergo the surgery.
We've got the TV in his room tuned to the weather channel and Dana gave the selection a nod after Dave asked him (that is what Dave and Dana always watched during the ride of 05)!
Thank you so much for all of the amazing support..... we love hearing from you and Dana is so blessed to have so many loving and caring friends and family. We love you all.
That is it for now......... from the Carr waiting room............
ACTUALLY........THIS JUST IN..........
Courtney just came back out with grey surgical gloves on, a HUGE smile and great news! The nurse asked Courtney if she wanted to perform the neuro check and Courtney did. So Courtney lifted his right eye and Dana immediately focused on her. She asked, "Dane....you can see me, right?!" Then Dana nodded!!
P.S. Courtney is saving the gloves!

We are all checking in throughout the day. So much progress! All our love and thoughts are with you. We do not know Dana very well at the Kitchen Theatre except through Jessica---but we know he is an athlete---so we (especially me, Rachel) are inspired by his ability to respond to questions and to have to strength to push ahead...LOVE and more LOVE to all of you...
Courtney,

Good Morning Dana:
Just want to let you know we are running the "Smart Pig" tomorrow (Saturday) from Mundy's to Greensburg.
Ecstatic you are progressing well. Your youthful energy and spark is needed back here. Take Care all.

Rick, Courtney and family. Although we don't know each other well, my heart goes out to you all. Dana is obviously a strong young man and has the support of a wonder family and a host of friends. Even those of us who don't know him well are pulling for him. You will all be in my thoughts.
Rick, Linda, and Family,
We're checking the blog several times a day and we're thrilled to read of Dana's progress. If prayers can make it so, the good news will just keep coming. Be strong for Dana and for each other.
Love you, Laura and Bill Sepka

We are confident that you have the best support possible around you right now - family, friends, hospital staff, etc. We hope to see you before long.
Thanks for all the updates. We will be waiting for the next.

It doesn't matter what language you pray in. It all works!!!
Just returned to Keuka and learned of Dana's accident and great progress. Please know that all of you will be in our prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are coming from NC. No words can express our concern, but we know good, positive thoughts will help in everyone's healing. Even though the parents and siblings are not the ones whose body's are hurt, their souls and minds are harder to heal. Let Dana know that your friends are not only praying for him, but also for the other members of your family going through this. From experience I know that helps.
Dick and Dixie
Dana,
Stay strong. If anyone is tough enough to deal with this, I know that it is you. Take your time, get well. We miss your energy, humor and friendship and are looking for the day that we can enjoy your company again.
Rick, Linda and Courtney,
You all are always in our thoughts and prayers.
Dick and Vickie Bourg
Dana and family,
Dana your a strong man and very determined. Your going to be great. As of always you and your family have the full support from Horseheads High XC team, especially from Tim and Michael.
When your ready Bambi Hill is waiting for us three again.
Best of Luck,
Michael Vrabel
