Good evening from the waiting room.
Since Dana had a haircut yesterday, Rick decided to give him a shave today, so he looks great! Dana had a few sips of apple juice and purple Gatorade as well as a few spoonfuls of vanilla pudding. As much he enjoyed the pudding he made it known that it wasn't nearly as enjoyable as his ice cream yesterday. He gave us a thumbs up on the Gatorade. We've spent a great deal of the day talking and trying to read Dana's lips. We're getting better at it! He waves to everyone that passes by his room and is always polite to the staff!
We told Dana about the blog today. He was surprised and very touched to learn of his family, friends and other caring and concerned supporters in the "virtual " waiting room cheering him on. He thanks you all so much and looks forward to the time when he can read all of your words of encouragement and positive comments.
Brittany surprised Courtney last night by bringing Ernie for a visit. Needless to say it was a great surprise. We toyed with the idea of sneaking Ernie in to see Dana, but thought better of it! Over and out

Sounds like it was a good day for everybody....how nice to read another positive update. I'm not at all surprised to read that Dana is waving and being polite.....it wouldn't be Dana if he wasn't!!! And what a wonderful gesture from Brittany! Always in my thoughts and prayers.

Heck yes to Dana and his improvement!!! Alexis arrived in CA today...it took her nearly a week to make the trip in the car, I'll remind her that Dana made the same trek on a bike!!
All sounds well!
