Update!

Hey everyone, I'm sorry that there are no longer daily updates, but now that Dan is home and only going to Rehab twice a week, there won't be a ton to monitor daily. He did, however, have rehab yesterday and I got a chance to stop by last night and talk to Dan and Kathy about what sort of day he had and what's going on in their lives.
Dan had an extremely hard day yesterday. The doctors realized that he has Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo which is basically where natural particles (Calcium Carbonate Crystals) that belong in his ear have found their way into the wrong canal causing vertigo like symptoms. The process to correct this is very painful and nauseating. The doctors are hoping that they were able to fix this for Dan today but there is a very good chance that they will have to re-do this process on Monday. Dan said he felt an overwhelming need to throw up during the process, and isn't looking forward to doing it again anytime soon! The doctors have also noticed that all though Dan's right hand is his dominant hand, it is not as strong as his left. He is have to do some strengthening exercises to recover the full use of it, which doctors say he should definitely be able to do.
And the last news is great news! Dan was able to stop by his job, SPS, today and visit with all of his co-workers! He loved every minute of it and just can't wait to go back to work full time! Thank you to those of you who regularly check in to see how Dan is doing, to those who have sent cards, to those who have sent casseroles, and to those who have stopped by to help with projects in the home. We all feel so loved by you, the body of Christ.
With love,
The Family
