Discharge Day!

Today, I was discharged from in-patient care at the Shepherd Center!!! Surprisely, I called Shepherd a temporary home for 120 days! However, there is no rest for the weary...I start out-patient care at Shepherd tomorrow (Jan. 11th). Out-patient includes more advanced rehab while living outside the hospital in a nearby apartment. Ultimately, this type of rehab and housing will train and prepare me to move back home and get back to many pre-accident activities and daily tasks. With luck and good fortune, Courtney, Ernie and I will be living under one roof by early March.

Signing off for the night.

Live Strong,
Dana

Our Support is Second to None! "Thank You!"

As many of you already know, this past Saturday night, family friends organized a benefit for Dana (Greenlight 4 Dana). For those of you who were unable to attend, we provide you with a brief summary. The night consisted of hundreds of people participating in good food, friends, basket raffles, 50/50 drawings, and a special surprise. Dana was brought in by live feed via the webcam from The Shepherd Center. He was able to spend a few minutes talking to the crowd. Needless to say, it was an emotional time at the Wings of Eagles...there was not a dry eye in the place!
To everyone who helped make this night a success, we owe you many, many thanks! We also want to recognize all of those who supported us, but were unable to attend.
The road traveled following the accident has been a difficult one, made easier by the constant love and support we have been provided. We couldn't have done it without all of you. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! We are forever grateful and will never forget Jan 5th 2008!
