Sorry I didn’t write earlier. Thought you’d want to know that Dan went into the hospital last night with respiratory failure. They had to do pulmonary bypass because he couldn’t be intubated. The doctor gave him a 50-50 chance of living.I talked to the nurse today, she thinks he’s doing better. They’re currently chasing his heart rate and trying to keep him oxygenated — he has a nasal canula now, which is not that big of a deal. They said they’d try to move him out of ICU tonight but weren’t sure.
He’s at the Fairfax County hospital.
Thank you so much, Fausta! I am home now. I am still fragile, but at least I managed to convince them to let me out of that place and I will most likely recover.
I am deeply troubled to see that Dan is so very ill. Dan is a nice man and a wonderful writer. I hope we will get good news about him soon too, may the good Lord bring that man a miracle.
ZILLA!! I’m so glad you’re home! We’re all praying for you.
I’ve met Dan, and he’s a great guy. He needs a miracle, and let’s hope it happens soon.
