Danny

has pneumonia plus has developed a local infection in his right arm. The doctor describes the bones of his forearm as "charred" and today they will decide whether to amputate. The cadaver grafts as well as live grafts they have attempted have all failed. He is being intermittently weaned from the ventilator and was able to breathe independently for two hours yesterday but remains comatose. The medical team have advised the family to make final arrangements.
Our dinner went really well and it was wonderful to spend a few hours together. Your prayers have been shared with everyone and are much appreciated. Will keep you updated.

It is a blessing that he remains comatose. His pain would be unimaginable??? So happy that you share time with Dean's sisters and it went well. Praying for you all!
