Hi,
My theory that Denny's confusion and speech problems are related to his morphine and anti-seizure medicines was reinforced today. Those meds were withheld yesterday for a few hours before and after his nerve-block procedure. His demeanor last night was, I believe, because those drugs had not been administered. Today, back on the drugs, he was having the same confusion and speech problems as before. I spoke to Drs. Lindo-Drusch and Yazbak about this and am hoping to connect with the neurologist tomorrow. The weaning off of the morphine has begun and I am hoping Dr. Bannusch will agree to decrease the anti-seizure drug.
Plans are for Denny to be transferred to Mercy Medical Center in Oshkosh for his rehab. That will happen after Jim Richter gets back on Thursday and gives the okay, so Denny could be starting that program as early as Friday. Like most of the last eleven months, we are just taking each day as it comes.
I'll let you know when things change. Have a great rest of the week!
Love,
Carla

Hi Carla;
I know this is not what the last months have been about, but I must tell you- We admire you SO much! You are brave, intelligent and most of all, forever loving! We pray each day that Jesus wraps his arms around both of you, and that "HEALTHY GRANDPA" returns to those wonderful grandchildren very soon!
God bless you!
Aunt Aggie & Uncle Bruce
