    Contact Jake Wilson, same thing happened to Ponch before he left for Cody WY this summer. They were very good with him and shipped him a tire immediately, I'm confident they will treat you the same.

    Only 2 ferrys go into Canada from Michigan, 1 is the Marine City/Sombra Ferry and the other is the Algonac/Wapole Island Ferry. Both are North of Detroit, the 3 bridges are the one in Soo Ste Marie in Michigans Upper Penninsula, The Blue Water Bridges in Port Huron, and the Ambassador in Detroit....this concludes our Michigan/Ontario Geography lesson for the day

    No worries Neshoba, you didn't know of Dans plight. I have a good feeling that Dan will be back with us before you know it. Keep vigilant with his progress and when he does come home, if I know him as well as I think I do, he'll get right back into the starter clutch mod.

    Thank you for coming on here Tom, as you can see there are quite a few of us here that love your brother and his family. We definitely appreciate all the help your giving the family and being here with us as well. Lots of folks praying for your brother, lots! If there is anything that we can do here please let us know as I know Rose is extremely busy with all the everyday things that go along with this. We have great faith in your brother and his will to come back to all of us, we wish you and your family nothing but the best, take care of yourselves.

    Ok Y'all, Lonna and I just got off the phone with Rose, Dan is doing better. They still have him heavily sedated for his own good. The damage is bad, not gonna sugar coat it here, but Dan is moving around in the bed so there doesn't appear to be any paralysis. He has 8 broken ribs, he has some compressed vertebrae mid back. I believe Rose mentioned C2 in his neck is cracked and he has a ring on his neck. The swelling in his face is going down, there is possibly of some fractures in his cheeks and above one of his eyes there might be a small fracture. There is a slight amount of bleeding in his brain, but the doctors aren't necessarily concerned with it. The bike has been taken care of, it is obviously totaled and one of their friends is handling all of that. Long way to go, but the initial signs are looking better. Dan is fairly young and is in decent shape, he's definitely tough enough to pull this out. Rose is very appreciative of all you folks keeping them in your thoughts. She will call Lonna or myself should there be a change with Dan. Please continue vigilantly with your prayers, as soon as we have info we will absolutely pass it along. I have been believing for Ponch, and I will believe for my brother in Indianapolis....Thank you all.

    An email from Kathy Warren 10/25 Praise God! David passed his swallow test this morning. Did well eating his lunch and dinner. The food has a little texture. He walked two flights of stairs during PT with a therapist holding on to his waist. During OT they had him exercise with a medicine ball. It was funny when he picked the ball up he made the funniest face. You would think the ball weighted 100 lbs, progressing everyday. Looking forward in him going to the other rehab place. Will be close to home and the place is not a hospital setting. Love You Thanks for the prayers.

    It is extremely hard to hear of one of our own having an accident like this. Dan and Rose are awesome folks, we have broke bread with them many times as well as stayed with each other at our houses. I was numb this morning when Freebird called me to let me know. Dan has always been a very active part of this forum and has gone out of his way many times to help folks in need. He is a very good friend to me and I love him like my own kin. It's hard getting to know folks here, befriend them and spend time with them, because you get close. When something like this happens there is no difference between your blood kin and who you decide to make kin to you. Dan and Rose, I love you both and will do anything I can to help you folks in whatever way possible. Rose you hang in there and by all means let us know what you need. Dan.....get better brother, we have many more years ahead of us to spend time together....

    I have posted a thread specifically for recovery updates for David here http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?p=633262#post633262 I would like this to be a read only thread so we can keep everyone abreast of updates at an easy view. I will also let folks know in this thread when updates are posted...Thank You all again for all your efforts

    From Kregerdoodle 10/23 Myself and Janet had a great visit with Dave and Kathy today, he is doing better then last week, they were playing Dominoes when we got there, he does pretty good matching the colors and counting the dots, good eye exercise. He knew who we were, called me kregerdoodle, Janet was JanetDoodle, Kathy was Kathydoodle or BossDoodle and he was DavidDoodle or just Dave. we had some laughs and a few tears. He will be moving to a new rehab on Nov.2 , they are really going to be working him hard, 9am till 3pm m/f and field trips on weekends, this will really help him in getting him ready to go home, Kathy wasn't sure on visitation, so after he is moved she said she would call and let people know when would be a good time to visit. Please keep the prayers coming

    From Tom on 10/21 Ok folks,I am back from Houston and spent a couple of hours with Ponch and Kathy and had the pleasure of seeing and being with him during his Physical Therapy. When I walked into his room he was trying to focus in on me and when I spoke he called me by my name!! He also called Debby by her name..This is FANTASTIC news when you think of the horrific accident he was in. While there is still a long road to full recovery I Personally think he is going to recover to at least 98% of who he was before the accident. Do I think he will make it 100% ? YEP,I saw him fighting hard today in PT and I am here to tell you he was walking with a pole(Staff) with only minimum help from behind..he did 95%of the walk himself!! He also was bending over to pickup a ball on the floor then they had him doing it to the right and to the left while making him really strech for the ball. I will also admit tears flowed from both of our eyes when I mentioned to Ponch that there have been over 32000 hits on this site and how many are praying for him....He looked me square in the eye and said "Over 32000 hits ?" " I had no idea so many people cared !" I told him he will be surprised at how many are sending best wishes and the kind words from basically all over the world. He just broke down and cried. Ponch is a fighter and as I say, UNLESS something goes haywire I look for him to be active with us again..maybe not riding but at meets and eats or Maintenance Days. To everyone on this site THANK YOU for the Prayers you have sent and to the ones that may not believe I know your hearts are with him also and I want to Thank all of you too. I know I have rambled a lot but I hope I have made some sense in this Update. One more thing, He even asked about my Mom and he told me "I got to go see her before the Accident." Folks that says a lot about Ponch's recovery when he could remember that! Keep the prayers coming..I personally believe what I saw today was a miracle and prayers DO WORK!
