Hi,
With all of the blood tests, X-rays, CT scans, and MRI's in, it all comes down to the steroids. The last test Denny had was last night when an eye doctor visited and gave him a fairly complete exam (because of the blurred vision he's recently developed.) His vision is 20/20, the eye pressure is fine, and things should go back to normal once the steroids are lowered. The issue with his blood sugar should also take care of itself--but until then he'll get insulin as he needs it.
Deemed stable enough for transfer, I got a call this morning that he was to be taken back to Mercy Medical in Oshkosh as soon as I could get him there. So, that is where he is, ready for some intense rehab so he can get strong enough to come home.
Thanks to all of you who have sent e-mails. Those replies will come from him as soon as he gets home. In the meantime, I read your messages to him and he is so moved by your words of encouragement and/or memories of your time with him. He is still the wonderful man you remember.
Until next time, grateful thanks for keeping Denny in your prayers. We are so lucky to have so many wonderful friends.
Love,
Carla

Coach O,
I have been tracking your journey through Fr. Don and this blog now for months. As a coach and teacher, you have been a mentor and role model for my academic and athletic experience at Xavier. I still tell my brothers about the time we coaxed you into dunking after a JV practice and you just stepped up and through it down from a standstill with two hands! Then the next day, you show your range to young formative minds by teaching advanced English to us. Thank you so much for giving us the gift of yourself as coach and teacher.
And now you continue to be a towering example of strength, grace and humanity. I now live in Rhode Island with my wife and daughter and would have preferred to have seen you in person to express this.
My God bless you in your daily experiences and may God bless and strengthen your family to continue to be the source of support so critical to your recovery. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers always.
Regards,
John Zuleger, Class of 1986
Carla and family,
Beautiful moments pieced together with love create a quilt of memories to treasure forever.
May your memories of Dennis warm and sustain you. May the care and concern of the Xavier family wrap you in love.
