Happy Saturday!
The good news is that things remain stable and there is definite improvement in Denny's strength. The recent med changes have really made a difference. Sleeping 10-14 hours at night seems to be the norm, but the daytime sleeping has tapered off to one short nap in the afternoons. He is reading, exercising, watching movies, and getting ready to make some "guest appearances" in the senior English classes. The last one will hold the key to his future progress--I truly believe any connection to the classroom and doing what he truly loves will stimulate him in a way no therapy or drugs can do.
Other good news is that the repairs/renovations at State Street are nearly completed, so now for me it's just a matter of some final painting and once again cleaning and polishing all of the woodwork. It won't be so bad this time, because it's just the dust from all of the floor sanding that I'm working with. We have renters who will be moving in at the end of September, so that gives me time to get it all done. Dave is coming home next weekend, so he will help, Chip has been helping with painting the ceilings, fixing basement windows, and has plans to do some landscaping. Shannon and the kids entertain Papa so he doesn't have to spend so much time alone while I'm gone, so it's been a family endeavor, plus all of the help from friends that I've written about in past blogs. We are all glad to see the light at the end of this tunnel!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Love,
Carla

Hi Carla and Dennie,
I'm still looking forward to that boat ride!
Let me know when you are feeling up for it and we'll pick you up some evening.
So sorry Rachel was out of town for the class of '09 evening. Sounded like a great time.
Take care, keep up the good work and hope to see you soon!

Hi Mr. and Mrs. O,
I hear about you from the Xavier grapevine and now on here. I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep up the good work!
God Bless,

Hi Carla and Dennie,
So glad to hear the positives and the fact that the good Lord continues to aid you in being positive and strong.
Isaac got his 4 wisdom teeth out a month ago and in fact still dealing with some issues with it. Otherwise doing well. Everyday you can find him studying books of words and grammar and is anxious to study English at UW Fox soon. Take care and God Bless you, Eileen H
