Back Home

A quick update: Dad wasn't in the hospital as long this time. He's back home and recovering. October seems to be a time that he catches infections. Must be the change in the season. Thank you all for keeping him in your thoughts.

Stubborn Bugs

Dear Friends of Denny,

Well, unfortunately, this bug is a stubborn one. Dad has gone back to the hospital as the infection picked up again. This time the ambulance took him to Mad River, where he has been receiving wonderfully attentive care. Mom reports that he is feeling alert and doing well. He even had some PT (physical therapy) yesterday. We're hoping that he'll be feeling well enough to come back home soon. Please keep him in your thoughts.

Home again, home again

Dear Friends of Denny,

I'm glad to report that Dad is home again after having responded well to the antibiotics. He's definitely much happier. We'll keep you posted on his progress.

In the meantime, here's an adorable picture of Dad with grandkids Sean and Kacie from this summer.

Long hiatus

Dear Friends of Denny,

I am so sorry for the long wait in between posts. The summer came and I fell down on the job. Dad had a great summer with lots of visits from grand-kids and a wonderful 50th Anniversary in August! Unfortunately, he got an infection last week and has spent the last few days in the hospital. He's sounding better each day, but is pretty bored and ready to be back at the ranch. If all goes well, he should be heading home tomorrow or the next day. I'll keep you posted (and you won't have to wait four months to hear, I promise).

In the meantime, I'll be posting some pictures from this summer's fun.
