Hi,
I didn't think I'd be writing again so soon, but Den is back in the hospital after just a few days at home. I'm sure it has to have something to do with the steroid
dosage going from possibly too low to a booster amount and then the attempt to come back down too quickly. A CT was ordered to check out his stomach and pelvis and we'll get those results tomorrow. He will have been scanned, MRIed, and ultrasounded from top to bottom and every blood test has been run. If there is any good news, it's that he doesn't have any pain at all. (Actually, he hasn't taken so much as a Tylenol since he left Mercy Medical last June!) I'm sure that we'll be seeing a cardiologist to cover all of the bases, but that appointment has not been made yet.
So, that's the update. I hope he will be home soon and there will be some plan of attack to this debilitating weakness. There are no words that can adequately describe how sad I am for him. Please pray.
Love,
Carla

Mr. & Mrs. O-
You are both in my thoughts and prayers. Here's hoping this will be a short hospital stay that finds a quick and lasting solution.

I am so sorry to hear about another setback. I am not sure that those of us that have been blessed with good health can truly appreciate your battle. Linda and I continue to check this blog and pray for all of you. My father endured a lifetime of bad health but always said "Tomorrow is going to be a better day". My prayer for the O Team is that tomorrow will be a better day for all of you!
God Bless!

Mr. & Mrs. O,
I am writing my first big assignment for law school and it has caused me a lot of consternation. While writing I found myself employing the writing techniques taught by Mr. O. Yesterday was the feast day of guardian angels. Mr. O has been my guardian angel while writing this Memo. We offered up a petition for him.
Many blessings,
Ben Weiland, '04
