Critical Care Unit

Denny has been moved to the Critical Care Unit, Room 7649 at Vanderbilt. He can't hear very well at the moment so we don't advise calling his room.  He is only going to be here until tomorrow. Here is the update: he has an infection that is being hit with heavy duty IV antibiotics. The swelling is the tumor. It has broken through his maxillary sinus bone and is wrapped around a major facial nerve. The docs are considering their options. Isn't that a nice word? "Options"... We like that! They are not giving up on the Topotecan because it hasn't had enough time to work. Other options under consideration are debulking it through surgery and maybe even radiation. Since it has been 10 years, the IMRT radiation may be thrown back in as a possibility.  So don't give up on Superman. We have had our backs to the wall before and God has granted him a miracle. The battle is still on! The Woodruff 4 are hanging tough. Hang in there with us!  Prayers requested, please. I'll keep posting news here. Thanks for checking in.
