The latest, as of 11/24 PM
I’m sorry, I thought this posted earlier, we’ve been on the road and internet has been iffy…
We’ve been getting bits and pieces of information from Denver, both from Carol, Jason’s mom, and Chad, Dante’s father (Thank you to you both)… Here is the latest, based on what we’ve been told.
Amada has been doing wonderfully. She was even able to get into a wheelchair to accompany grandma to the cafeteria for a slice of pizza yesterday. This is beyond encouraging! She is definitely on the road to recovery.
Noah was scheduled for surgery this morning to fuse his vertebrae for stability, but it was delayed until this evening because of an unexpected emergency case that needed to take place first. We will update you on how it went as soon as we hear, which will probably be tomorrow morning. Grandma said that he is also asking a lot of questions and is understandably angry about what has happened to Cassandra, Dante, Amada and himself. Hopefully this surgery will alleviate some of his pain.
We’ve heard that Dante has woken up 3 times today, and is responding to noises in his environment. The swelling has gone down and the doctors are still doing everything they can to keep the swelling down. The plan to put Dante into a deeper coma had changed because the doctors feared it was causing lung problems, as Chad mentioned in his comments. Still, this is positive news and we are all encouraged.
We will post an update on how Noah’s surgery went tomorrow.
Also, I just wanted to say that I know a lot of you guys may be traveling to be with family for the holiday, so everyone please be safe and take care.
