My fingers are shaking and this will have no edits. They have tried everything medicine has but this infection has taken over and although Dan is still fighting and hanging on, he is dying. I use that word because I am already weary of "he's not going to make it" or "he's not doing well". He was so tired and he told the nurses and doctors he just wanted to "go into a coma" if that meant he's get a rest. He is very comfortable and in no pain. They are giving him drugs to keep his blood pressure up, etc., but it won't be long until his body is too taxed.

I will write more later but I want you all to know how much you all mean to us and how we have felt your love and support in every way. I can say my life will never be the same because of having known and been married to Dan. It would not have been as enriched, although my heart is broken because he is leaving us...he is my hero.

He never wanted people to visit him when he felt terrible or wasn't able to enjoy company, so I know it's the right thing to do to let him rest without too many people seeing him in this state (although my mom, his mom, and his brother are here).

He still looks good to me. Much love, and I am sorry for all of us. Susan
