At 9:00 PM on Wednesday, October 19, Dan was scheduled for surgery on his left ankle.
The surgery was completed at 1:30 AM and was successful. So many of Dan's bones were broken and they were fixed one by one.
On Thursday, October 20, Dan was in terrible pain for much of the day.
The good news is that if all heals correctly, Dan will be able to eventually walk again (maybe not perfectly, but he'll be able to walk) and even skate!
Also, there is a good possibility that Dan will come home this coming Tuesday, October 25!
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.)
