Hello,
There hasn't been much change as of yesterday. The physicians attempted to perform the back surgery again today, but had to abort for the same reason as yesterday. Unfortunately, they're in a catch-22. The lungs need to be better in order for the surgery to happen. Yet performing the surgery will quicken the recovery of the lungs.
He's back up in the Surgical ICU where he's been since Monday. He's currently resting, but awakens about every hour when the nursing staff tests his vitals. When he wakes up, he's pretty groggy due to the sedation from this morning's surgery preparation. Most likely he'll be alert again tonight like he was yesterday.
We thank you all for keeping an eye on the blog and pulling for Dana.

Hello from David (Rosie) Grady, Bucknell ’85. The Grady family has been praying for Dana since we read about his accident on the Bucknell mailing list. That includes our son Christopher (9) and Sarah (3) who pray for Dana each night in their bedtime prayers. Our daughter Lauren died in 2002 from brain cancer. Dana was on the Hood to Coast team that ran in Lauren’s honor in 2002 and raised funds for our family as she was in the midst of treatment then. Dana also remembered Lauren in a special way, along with Coach Gulden, in his ride across the country a couple of years ago with funds going to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Dana is a great person and we are really pulling for him to have a full recovery. I am sure that this is an extremely trying time for all of your family and close friends. Please know that there are many out here who care. We will continue to keep Dana and your family in our prayers. May God bless you all.
David, Hope, Christopher, (Lauren), and Sarah Grady
