A Wonderful "Moment"

Happy 1st of November! As promised, I'm posting the updates that have occurred since Oct. 21st.

Denny is steadily getting his strength back. It is slow in coming but I can see improvement every day. He has lost most of his eyebrows and eyelashes but they will grow back. His hair will grow back too. We were told that there is a good chance it may grow back different from what he had. Instead of silky auburn hair, it may be blond and curly! The suspense is driving me crazy! Ha!

A concern at this point is possible leakage of spinal fluid. Denny had experienced an incident where some clear fluid suddenly gushed out his nose with no warning. When he saw Dr. Chicoine, Denny mentioned it. Dr. Chicoine said we should monitor any further incidents and to call if another one occurs. The only way to confirm if there is leakage, is to go back in there. So far, we have not seen any further fluid loss. Rest assured, we are watching closely!

I'm finally getting caught up from being gone so much. I've posted the pictures of Denny ringing the bell at Siteman. The sign under the bell says, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. Smile - This is one of those moments!" It was such a glorious day! Everytime we see the picture, we get to relive a wonderful "moment" in this journey. We wanted you to share it with us.

Love to all,
Deb
