Hi,
Denny was moved to the sub acute unit this afternoon and will begin intensive occupational and physical therapy on Monday. I hope that the levels of all of his medicines are finally figured out and his body will stabilize, allowing him to regain his strength. His legs are still very swollen but we hope that will slowly reverse itself.
I have to give a public shout-out to Dr. Jim and Laurie Richter. They came to visit Den today and Dr. R. wasn't in the room one minute before he noted the size of the bed in the room. It was even smaller than the normal hospital bed, something I didn't notice (too busy trying to make his new room look "homey" and festive.) Then I watched the wheels of the medical system at work. Dr. Richter took a stroll down to the nurses' station and within fifteen minutes a brand new, state of the art, bed that extends to seven feet was there for Den. When he was finally in bed for the night, Denny looked more comfortable than he's been in a long time. Laurie brought beautiful prayer shawls and suggested music relaxation for Den, so as soon as I finish this I'm going to get his I-Pod charged up. Thank you both so very much!!
There shouldn't be any news tomorrow, but I'll let you know how he does Monday after his first day of boot camp!
Good night,
Carla

We liked the story about the bed. As a 1st cousin, I was always jealous of Denny and Pat since they were so tall compared to the rest of us. Get your strength back even though it will be too late to put that extra effort to cheer for the Packers or even for Brett but hey that is football. We pray and think about you guys a lot and hope his strength returns quickly since that would be the best Christmas present of all. Have a Merry Christmas. God bless you both.

We think about you two often. Denny's blog is much appreciated and allows us to keep up with his progress. We will pray for continued improvement in Denny's health.
Merry Christmas to all.
Love,
Tom and Sandy
