A word from Dan

To all of my family and friends,

I wanted to write a personal note to thank everyone for all of the prayers and support you have given my family and I over these past weeks. Thank you for all of the cards, calls, comments on the blog and visits they have been so encouraging. I am still recovering and so thankful to be at home. My kidney's continue to improve every day and I am working to gain back strength. My biggest challenge is learning to walk again after all of the muscle I lost in my legs and body . The other day I was trying to walk without my walker (Yes I am now training for a walker race in the 90 and up category) and I started to stumble and knock stuff down like my fullback Austin B. at Champion. However, I really wanted to be smooth and graceful like my halfback Caleb. Hopefully over time I will end maneuvering like Caleb. One of the things I am looking forward to the most in the future is seeing all of my football players at Champion on the 15th. After my tests on Saturday I will know if I am completely done with dialysis and hopefully I will get the tubes in my chest out (inserted surgically for dialysis). Thanks again for all of your prayers and support.

Many blessings,


Dan and Mari

HEY DAILEY!!!!!!
It's Brad Evans. I am overjoyed to hear that you are finally out of the hospital and well on the way to recovery. I am so happy I finally found the blog! It took me a long time. One time, I sat down for about 2 straight hours trying to find it. Words cannot express hoe sorry I am that I did not visit you in the hospital. I just wanted you to know that I tried many times. Every time I was about to go and see you, I would break down and cry because I realized that I didn't have the courage, wasn't brave enough to see you, a man I so admire and care for, like that. I am so ashamed of those moments of personal weakness and trepidation Dailey. I hope that you will be able to forgive me. I just know you're going to dominate that over 90 race!! :) I hope this little letter finds you and your wonderful family well. Give them my best. Take care Dailey. :)

God Bless-
Brad
