December 13

Hi,

This morning we spent several hours at St. E's where Denny received two liters of fluids -- so that's a total of four liters in three days. We were hoping this would put an end to the dizziness when he stands and/or walks, but his blood pressure still varies over 20 points from sitting to standing, so dehydration is not the entire answer. We will be seeing both doctors again on Monday, so maybe they'll have some answers. I still think it all has to do with either the steroids or the filter they inserted to block the blood clots.

Being housebound or at the hospital, I have learned that online shopping is okay and the hospital gift shop has interesting gifts. I hope you have have had more fun getting ready for Christmas!!

I'll update this again on Monday. Hopefully, there will be something more positive to report. Den sends his best to everyone and is grateful for all of the cards and letters he continues to receive.

Hugs to all of you,
Carla

Mr. O.,
This is just a note to let you to know that the Drusch family continues to pray for you and all of your family. We appreciate immensely all the lessons you taught, both in and out of the classroom at Xavier.
