Denny's July Check up

Hello, family and friends,
It's been awhile since I've posted. Life has been moving at a pretty fast pace. In my last post, I said I would be posting the results of Denny's July checkup.

I wish I could say "All is well." However, that is not the case. Denny's MRI showed a "hot" spot near the dura (the flap that was grafted between his brain and sinus cavity) in the right side of his sinus cavity this time. All the trama has previously been on the left. Dr. Haughey, the ENT doc, could not see any mass but the surface of the cavity appeared not to be healing. The rough, unhealed surfaces are suspicious.

A biopsy is scheduled for Monday, July 18th at 7:30am. I will be driving up to be with him. We truly expected everything to be fine so I was doing a campus visit with Dana in Kentucky when we got the news tonight.

Dan is going to head out Sunday for my mom & dad's. Dana will be traveling with me back to Missouri to help with the driving. The last biopsy Denny had, they kept him overnight due to excessive bleeding. That being the case, he will not be in any shape to drive back to Tennessee on Tuesday. Dana is going to drive one vehicle and I will drive the other; a truck (stick shift).

I will post as soon as I have news. If you don't see anything on here, well...that means I don't know anything! Stay tuned and thanks for checking in.

Love to all,
Deb
