Hi,

A routine of sorts is settling in and things are going well. We have seen all but one of Denny's doctors, and that is on the schedule for next week. We have decided on no more chemo for a few months and a continuation of fairly intense physical therapy. A new medicine seems to be giving some relief from the chronic fatigue, so that is the best news we have to report.

Last night Macaire, Thayer, and Ryan (Knott) brought supper and spent a few hours chatting with Denny about all sorts of things. It was a delightful evening for him and once again Den said that the biggest regret he has of the entire year is that he didn't get to teach and get to know better the class of 2009. And once again I have to say that visiting with these graduates is great medicine for him. I wish I could bottle it!

I'll keep you posted on Denny's recovery. As long as no weird set-back comes along, I'm hoping we will only have good news to share. I know it sounds redundant, but please accept our heartfelt thanks for all of the prayers you have said for Denny and our family. I'm sure it is what has gotten us through this past year.

Love,
Carla
