Sunday, January 20, 2008 — A Web site has been created to give an update on the condition of David Morgan, the co-owner of Pontiac Pointe restaurant and Morgan Motor Company who fell from the roof of the restaurant Tuesday morning.
The Web address is: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/davidmorgan.
A family journal entry Friday night read: “David had a good night last night and a good day today. There are still no further surgeries scheduled at this point. He is moving his arms and hands more frequently now and has begun to occasionally open his eyes during talks and visits. They have begun to reduce his sedation medicine a little and he is slowly becoming less dependent on his ventilator. The doctors have still not done the MRI to fully examine the spinal chord injury. Again, thank you all so much for all of your continued prayers and very encouraging comments.”
A guestbook is offered for individuals to leave comments for the Morgans.
