It's been a long 3 days!


Dennis had a stroke on Monday morning, but he is recovering very well! 

He's still in the hospital and was suppose to be transferred to a rehab today. However, since he's made such great progress in such a short time, they canceled the rehab and instead he will have some PT at home, and then rehab later as an out patient. 

We are so hoping he gets to break out of the hospital tomorrow! 

The Dr thinks it will take about 6 months, and then best case scenario he will reach 95% recovery. We'll take that! 



We were actually all ready and packed to go home today, when the Dr appeared and said he needs to stay another night. Something on his echocardiogram does not look quite right. Hopefully it's nothing. 

We appreciate all the prayers that have been offered by many. Thank you SO much!!!!

Oh, Jill!! I'm so sorry! It sounds like he's doing well, though. Could have been so much worse. I'm praying for his rapid recovery and comfort/strength for you. I'd love to talk to you when you feel up to it. Love you, Jill!!

Thinking of you and Dennis as you face the challenges ahead. I am thankful he has the best of care and is making progress even faster than anticipated, and that you got to go home!! That will surely bring better healing. When you feel overwhelmed, remember all those who love you dearly. Reach out to us when you need to talk or want additional encouragement. May God grant you comfort, peace, patience, and understanding. pjc
