Dan is actually awake, recognizes Christine and others in the room and asked to see his kids. I heard he is sick of the hospital and wanted to know if they won the scrimmage game. So he is off the ventilator, breathing on his own, talking and already thinking football. He is still in the ICU, they're still closely monitoring him and he is by no means out of the woods yet. But this is awesome news! Keep up the support and prayers. -email from Mundelein folks.
During the Bantam scrimmage on Saturday afternoon, one of the Mundelein coaches, Dan Coleman suffered a massive heart attack. He was assisted at the fields and then transported to Condell where he underwent emergency surgery.
As of today, he has made it through both operations and they started removing the machines this morning. They have also been reducing the drugs to bring him out of the coma. The doctors said his numbers are looking better and brain activity seems ok.
We will update the website with anymore updates. Our thought and prayers are with the Coleman family in their time of need. Please keep Dan in your thoughts and prayers as well.
