Hi Everyone,
Just a quick note to let you know that everything is pretty much status quo here. We had an uneventful weekend and today the nurse and I figured out that when Den has been up too long and/or feels really weak, we have to just let him be. Today the nurse just wanted Den to scoot backwards onto the bed and it simply caused him to collapse. It was scary, because for about 20-30 seconds he wasn't responsive, but when he did come to he remembered everything, including what he said to the nurse as his legs gave out. So whether it was a mini seizure, a fainting spell, or something else, I hope we know how to avoid another one.
Otherwise, his appetite is still good. he has no pain, and he has enjoyed the visits with those who have come over. His mental clarity goes hand in hand with the fatigue, so there is a range. I continue to be amazed at the hospice personnel and the care they give. I am even more amazed by the patience and faith Denny exhibits every single day.
Time to head for bed and pray for, among other things, a full night of sleep for both of us.
Love,
Carla

I want you to know that there are a lot of former students all over the country praying for Mr. O. And now as a teacher myself, I can only hope to touch as many lives.
I was lucky enough to have Mr. O as a teacher for my senior year of high school. He was a great teacher and was very friendly with all the students (and put up with all the things seniors like to pull). Now that I am in the middle of my college career, but my family still has tight ties with Xavier. Mr. O rarely leaves our thoughts and prayers, and my aunts and uncles (who are also Xavier alum) have very fond memories of him as well. He is a strong man, and lucky to have Mrs. O as such a strong and supporting wife. He remains in our prayers and thoughts, as he has touched so many people, and hopefully he will return to Xavier soon to grace more lives with his presence.
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
--Isaiah 41:10
