Dave had a good day today and stood on his own two feet for the first time since the accident. I suppose it's really one good foot and just toes on his bad leg, but he stood up using a cane (no walking yet though). He handled it much better. He wanted to make sure to wear his Abaco Rage shirt to help give him strength and it worked...for both him and the crew of the Rage. They came in first once again and won the HTSC's Burton Russell Trophy race!

After the race, the crew of 24 all wrote Dave on their arms and hands to say hi and miss you to their missing crew member who is on the injured list. That sure brought tears to our eyes!
Tomorrow we head to Daytona via Orlando. What a day it will be. Just thinking about being back there will get us through the day. Once again we appreciate everything everyone has been doing to help us during this challenging time! More when we are settled in.
Considering what he's gone through, I think Dave looks great! Safe travels and here's to continued progress in his recovery!
