Hi everyone,
The blog tonight is a group effort - Dana, Court, and Me. The group effort is Dana's idea, so is the title of the blog and actually he wanted to name it Nurse Courtney's ICU.
Dana was very happy to see Courtney's smiling face today. Court is fabulous at explaining what is going on in ICU and what all the bells and whistles mean. Dana doesn't really remember much about the Albany ICU (thank goodness for that), so her explainations are informative and comforting. As I mentioned yesterday, Dana is taking a little rest in the ICU while he heals from his intestinal surgery. He says he felt fair yesterday, but much better today. All of his vital signs are looking good today. Dana says even though he is hooked back up to equipment in the ICU (he thought he left behind in Albany), he knows it is helping him relax, rest, and heal so he can return to the 2nd floor and his rehab program. We're looking for the green light!
Yesterday we mentioned the two cross country teams running for Dana. What we forgot to post is the IHA cross country link, just in case you want to follow their progress. It is:

We also forgot to thank Anti for the supply of "Running for Dana bracelets", so thanks so much. The Carr clan loves them!
We have also been asked for Dana's address, so I'll post it in this blog as I can't remember which blog we posted the address in originally. We also understand that some folks are having trouble posting to the blog, and we also have an e-mail address at Shepherds for patients and the e-mails are printed off and delivered to Dana with his regular mail (thanks Mara for figuring that out for us).
1. How to post to the blog
If you are trying to post to the blog, double click on the name of the blog (for example "Courtney is back in Town!).
Next, scroll to the bottom of the posted comments and look for the light grey underlined words Post a Comment and click.
This will take you to the next screen. On the right is a box titled Leave your comment. Type your comment in the box and sign your name.
The next part seems to be the tricky part for some people. Choose an identity: If you don't have an identiy (and many don't), click on the radio button for anonymous (below and to the right if you aren't a regular blogger).
Once you are happy with your message click on the orange box titled publish your comment and you are done! Whew..... hope you got that!
2. USA address
Shepherd Center (Dana Carr Room 217D)

3. e-mail address
To send an e-mail to Dana at Shepherd's:
http://www.shepherd.org/about/reach.asp

I think that is it for tonight. All our love to everyone! Thanks so much.

Thanks for all of the updates. We think on you all constantly, and are so impressed with Dana and his strength and determination. Is there a place we can purchase the running for Dana bracelets, I would love to get them for our Baltimore Marathon team to wear during the race on the 13th.
Hang in there, I'm sure the light will be turning green soon and Dana will continue on his remarkable road to recovery.

Yes - well, having more surgery certainly could not have been fun at this point! Seems like you are running the ultimate race - all downhill one day - then your wondering where you wind went as you ascend a 3 mike rise....
Always thinking of you up here in Boston...

PS - you probably heard, but we are adding on to the Siglin clan!

Thinking of the Carr family always! Keep up the good work Dana!

Dana,
We hope that you had a better day today than yesterday and that tomorrow is even better. Wishing you a smooth recovery from your surgery. You and Courtney are in our prayers.
The valley people
So you came upon a red light. Not bad considering all you have been through. We think about you everyday and hope soon this will all be behind us. Stay strong.
P.S. Happy belated birthday Courtney!
Even though we're not regular bloggers, we are following your progress and praying for you every day. As the light is green again, please know we are with you every inch of the way. Lots of love from Oklahoma! Aunt Mary Kay and Bobby
Dana,
I am sorry to hear you had to have surgery again. But you are on your way to recovery again. I almost have the AFE list onto one page (just as you wanted!) and most of the FCR/CMI's are completed! Take a break and rest during this "red light" so you can get back up to speed again, and we all know you will.
