Dear Friends and Family,
I am sorry to inform you that Den took a turn for the worse late last evening and had multiple cardiac arrests. He was revived and he is currently in ICU. He has been intubated again and is being supported on a ventilator. They are uncertain of the reason for his heart attacks but they believe it may be due to a pulmonary embolism. His heart and lungs are extremely weak and his kidneys are failing. There may also be some neurological damage. The Dr's continue to try and stabilize him but inform us that he is in grave condition.
Please pray for Dennis.
Thank you,
e

Dennis, You have an awesome sister who is really coming through for you. She is a total blessing to us all. I long to hear your careful wisdom, humble character, and joyful thoughts again. I now treasure more than ever all the connection you experienced with the Lord in the last few months. I can only imagine how great His choice will be for you in this time. We are praying for you especially for our sake because we miss you and want you back with us!!! -Jeff N
