Hi!
Today was another learning experience (at least for me!) We went back to Dr. Meyer, the ear specialist, who confirmed what we had suspected: the ear infection wasn't completely cleared up and there was fluid behind the eardrum. That explains, in part, the earache Denny was still experiencing.
I watched on a screen as the doctor removed the infection/debris and then, after numbing the ear, he made a small incision in Den's eardrum, suctioned out the fluid, and inserted a tube (like toddlers have put in) to facilitate future drainage. It really was fascinating to watch. And what a relief for Denny! Everything sounds clear to him for the first time in a long time. It's probably my imagination, but I believe his balance is even better.
Then it was on to physical therapy, where Den's getting back on track after these past couple of weeks. Let's hope that we are back on a forward course.
Thanks for your prayers, notes, and calls. That's what keeps Den going!
Love,
Carla

Good Afternoon, Carla & Dennis! You do not know me, but I have been a neighbor of Dennis's sister, Beck, for almost 18 years. We are like sisters. She keeps me up to date on you and your family. I am not a "blogger" and for me to be actually sending you this note, I had to seek out the help of another person you know, Jill Bobinski, who I work with! And she helped me get to this screen! I can't stay on long, but just to let you know, our hearts go out to you along with a daily prayer! Liz and Jon Brand
