Day 7: Morning Update

Monday 6 April, 11:45 am MST

It is difficult to believe this is already Day 7. A lot has happened since last Tuesday morning when Aubrey called to say Daniel had been in an accident and we all rushed to the hospital.

As you know, when something like this happens, the demands of life don't stop. Aubrey and Mendy are both scrambling this morning to take care of their jobs, as well as be there for Daniel. There has been lots of support from friends and family and it will all work out, but all the things that have to be coordinated at a time like this can make life complicated, to say the least.

The endoscopic surgery will happen sometime today, but Daniel is on a wait list because the OR was already scheduled today for other surgeries. We will let you know when Daniel's surgery is happening and will of course give you a post surgery update.

Yesterday afternoon and evening were a mixed bag for Daniel. He was talking in complete sentences, without the labored breathing between words that has been the pattern before now. But he also had quite a rough afternoon and evening. Undoubtedly that is to be expected with as many serious injuries as Daniel's body has sustained.

  1. Daniel...sorry I can't be there right now. I could tell I was starting a cold so I came home to recoup. I'm doing better so will be with you again soon. You are always in my prayers. Uncle Larry says they love the pictures Bill put in. It makes loved ones across the country feel they are there with you. We are on your side. Love, G-MA
