Hi everyone! We apologize again for not posting sooner. It has been a very busy couple of days. First and foremost the left arm surgery on Friday was very successful. The docs were able to remove the pins in the wrist, use a piece of bone to graft the ulna, reset his broken hand and remove scar tissue from the elbow. Although it seems like alot was done the surgery itself only took 1.5 hours. Dana was awake 1 hour after the surgery.....just in time for dinner. The range of motion in his left elbow has already improved from where it was 3 days ago. Good news!
Early Saturday morning Dana was up in his chair and ready to go. Its a good thing because lots of family was in town to keep Dana occupied. It was great to see everyone...Mom, Dad, Susie Q, Brittany, Jessy and Grandma! "Thanks Grandma for making the trip. It was nice to spend some time with you." "Susie Q...thank you for all the goodies, I will enjoy them and grandmas cookies are always a sweet treat." We look forward to the next time that everyone can get together, but for now the weekend is over and Dana is back to a very busy schedule. We will update as the week goes on. Thanks as always for the cards, emails, letters and special packages that Dana has received. Love, Courtney

Dana,
this is the first time I have seen your site and I am so happy for you. I am Shayne's foster mother and miss him soo much, he was such a great person I only wish you could have know him. He was always giving of himself and never asked for anything in return.We will have an empty chair on Thanksgiving but we will think of you and give thanks that you are mending. Someone told me that you were training to ride in a melanoma awareness event I too have Melanoma and if you can make anyone aware of this horrible disease it would be wonderful. Best of luck in the future and I hope you will be very happy
Pat and Frank
