Hi everyone,
Today we spoke with both doctors, and they with each other, and the plan is to decrease the steroids a tiny bit, progress as planned with the chemotherapy tomorrow through Saturday, and go back for more blood tests on Friday. They gave Den another liter of liquids today and did all the blood work. The only thing out of whack is the low blood pressure issue, which is being attributed to the incredible weakness in his legs. So, the good news is that there isn't any more bad news. He just has to build up his own strength when he can in any way he can.
Tonight we will celebrate the fifth birthday of our oldest grandson, Connor. He is the little guy who developed an extremely rare autoimmune disorder 2 1/2 years ago. Since that time he has had multiple stays at various hospitals, dozens of tests and IV's, and nearly 500 injections given to him at home by Chip. The protocol for his treatment was developed by the only specialist for OMS in the world and carried out by a pediatric neurologist in Green Bay. His treatment ended about two months ago when he was declared "cured" by his doctor in GB. Connor is a very happy, healthy,
pre-schooler who makes us remember every day that miracles do happen. Now we just continue to pray for one for his Papa.
I'll update the blog on Friday after we see the doctors.
Stay warm!!
Carla

We are out of the loop. I was so happy to see your blog. Ryan has expressed his warmest wishes to Mr.O and you Carla. He has great anxiety about writing something incorrectly. I obviously don't :)
We are so happy to hear of Connor's good news and no more bad news for Denny. Connor should know that we are praying for his Papa too. There is great power in our prayers.
