April 27

Hi,

I'm home for a couple of hours while Denny sleeps. He had the nerve block injection this morning, which I thought would give instant relief, but I guess it can take a while to actually affect the nerve. The procedure could be a one time thing, or it may have to be repeated--who knows?

His anti-seizure medicine has been raised, which was expected, and today they've added yet another pill to his ever-growing list of medications. The irregular heartbeat they said not to worry about now needs a beta blocker. The bad part about that for Denny is that it could lower his already too low blood pressure. I suppose there are more things that could go wrong, but I'm really praying that God will agree that Den's been tested enough.

It looks like he'll be at St. E's for a while. At some point they will transfer him to the sub-acute unit for rehab, much like he went through in December. Hopefully his recovery time won't be as long this time around.

Keep praying!
Love,
Carla
