This is the Schneider-Farris Family's Blog. Keep up with what we are doing by logging into this site regularly! (The reason this site is called "Tragedy and Triumph" is that when I first founded this site, my husband, Dan, had been in a horrible accident, and he recovered. His recovery was a miracle! Go back to the 2005 archives to read our story.)

Dan's first time outdoors and a haircut


Last evening, Annabelle and Rebekah and I met Dan and Mike at the park next to the hospital and took an evening stroll around the park. Mike pushed Dan's wheelchair and we talked and talked.

How wonderful that Dan can go outside again for short strolls!

My hairdresser, Gail Montoya, also came to the hospital earlier today and gave Dan a haircut. He looks so much younger now. The long shaggy hair had made him look old and tired. Now, even his head looks like it has a new beginning!

I told Dan last night he'd been in a coma for two weeks; he was shocked. He had no idea he'd been out all that long. It has been 31 days since the accident.

(There was a full moon out last night; I remember the nurses and Chaplain saying that the weekend of Dan's accident there had also been a full moon and it seemed like there was more activity at the hospital that particular weekend.)
