May 15

Good morning,

Things finally caught up with me and I came home from work yesterday with a touch of the flu. I slept most of the afternoon and night, so I hope that was the extent of it.

Denny's chemotherapy pills will be delivered here sometime today and I will have to get them down to Oshkosh so he can start this five day process tonight. This will be the first time he's ever taken his chemo in the hospital, but with all of the new medicines he is on, I'm glad he's there for this.

In general, we all think he is making some progress. His speech is much better and his processing skills are improving. He's still very weak and is using a walker for his physical therapy. I know he hates that, but he also knows he needs to use it until he's more stable. His short term memory is what bothers him the most -- most days he has no recollection of anything that happens from the time he gets up until after his morning nap. It's all very weird, and once again I am thinking it has something to do with the anti-seizure medicine that he takes at night and again in the morning. It's on my list for the next staffing on Tuesday.

I hope you will have a wonderful weekend! So many flowers to plant, and so little time...

Love,
Carla
