Hi,

Some of you know me. For those who don't I am DennyGene's wife.

I just wanted to let you know I am taking him to the hospital today. It is a hour and a half away. I don't yet know how long he will be there. But the Doctor does not like the amount of swelling that is going on in his face and shoulders. They will be doing the biopsy while they have him in the hospital.

I promise to get information to you as soon as I can...But at this point I don't know if I will be staying down there or driving back.

Computer on the blink. Just got it working again. Our prayers go out to Denny and his wife. Can't wait to hear that he is coming home again to school us on the latest and greatest info. Denny has such a way with words.

Surgeon has talked with primary Care / pulmonologists and God willing we will have a plan of action.

Dennis was able to read all of the wonderful messages you all have written. He tried to answer a few but the internet is just too picky and it wouldn't let him send them. and he go tall shaky. (the pain does that to him)

Loves and hugs to all of you.

Dennis and Elsie
