The social worker at the hospital set up an iPad for us to be able to talk to Dan in his room for an hour daily. That is a blessing. It was great for us to be able to say hello to him and we know that hearing our voices will help him fight harder. We made sure to tell him how many people are rooting for him. The outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming, our support network and community of friends is large and diverse and full of so much love. Thank you.

Thankful you can talk to him. You’re right about hearing your voices! Next time tell him our lottery club hit the big one and he needs to go to Lansing with us to collect 🤣. In seriousness though, the whole of Grand Rapids & Kent County law enforcement is pulling for your dad. I’ve ridden with him numerous times and was always amazed (though I shouldn’t have been) to see officers wave to your dad EVERY TIME, without fail. Everybody knows him!
