As of yesterday they had moved him from ICU to the critical care unit . They had put him in a medically induced coma , but I was told yesterday the plan was to bring him out of the coma yesterday or today . But I’ve not heard of that was done so far .

Just got the latest on Patton ! He is awake and acknowledges . He however has a tube down his throat and can’t talk . So it sounds like he’s on an upward track !

According to his hunting buddy Terry Wagner, Danny had a swallowing test yesterday and his swallow function is somewhat compromised so he is restricted to a soft diet and starting occupational and physical therapy today.

Got an update on Patton today ! He is out of the hospital and in a rehabilitation facility still in WI . He’s talking fine and walking pretty well and from what I understand the physical and occupational therapy are going well . I was told he’ll most likely be there a couple weeks before they think about letting him head back to Virginia . Anyway this is all a step in the right direction !

Got the latest straight from the horses mouth a couple minutes ago ! Patton told me the doctors are telling him he may be able to head home this Friday or Saturday . But he sounds in good spirits all be it a little tired . But all in all I’d say it’s all be a steady upward progression !

Craig That's great ! Nothing better could be expected. Let's keep praying and hoping we will have to put up with him in flip flops in April !

Just a little update . Patton called me yesterday and we talked about half an hour . Anyway he sounded good , he said he didn’t feel 100% which is to be expected . And of course he gets tired fairly easily . He also told me he’ll start therapy here next week I believe he said . But he sounds in a pretty good state of mind all things considered .
