Hi folks,
I am so sorry for not writing earlier than this evening. I left my laptop at home and I was unable to access internet till now.
Unfortunately, when we arrived at the hospital this morning, Dennis had another cardiac arrest. They were able to revive him again with CPR but his heart was not doing well. In the early afternoon, his heart started to act up again and his defib kicked in. He was shocked back 3 times during the afternoon. His pacemaker was regularly firing as he continued to have irregular heart beats until 4pm. He was put on several more medication for his blood pressure and heart. He is still with us but very sick.
This evening he was started on kidney dialysis to help him to decrease the fluid load on his heart. They are hoping that this will help his heart to function better. He has also been started on 4 new antibiotics.
It is early to say what the next few days will bring, but the medical staff are very hopeful. We too are clinging to the hope that God still has work to do with him on earth. It has been an extremely difficult 48 hours for our family as we have witnessed him arresting before our eyes. Please continue to pray.
Thanks, e

Man Dennis, God has invested so much in you in terms of your character, your integrity, your wisdom, your mental clarity, your joy and your humility. We will all benefit so much if He returns you to us!! All of this physical turmoil causes us to appreciate even more and more His beautiful work in who you are and who you have been to all of us. As we live on the edge with you now, I treasure you and all that God has done in you and each one of us more and more!!! We treasure you and God's work in you!!!
Eunice we continue to hold your family in prayer. Please know we truly love you and want to care for you at this time. If there are any practical things we can do for you guys just let us know.
