Hi folks,
Dennis is doing well and is in good spirits. He may move up to the 8th floor sometime next week to get started on his rehabilitation. His short term memory is still poor but with some cognitive rehab this should improve.
He is open for visitors. He is currently on the 5th floor of the Cascade Elevators. Make a left once you exit the elevators and ask the staff at the nursing desk the directions to his room. My mom is living with Dennis in his room. Her name is Kathy. Please remember that his short term memory is poor, therefore, you may need to remind him of your name and where you know him from. He may seem a little confused or mix up his words or appear to be thinking about what he is trying to say. You will need to be patient with him as he tries to express himself.
I am traveling back and forth from Vancouver, BC now so, I may or may not be at the hospital during your visits. I hope I get a chance to meet you all but if I don't, have a great visit with Dennis and my mom.

this is AWESOME!! Looking forward to seeing you Den!! We love you!
fantastic news Dennis! congratulations on your continual progress... I'm sure Eunice has been keeping you up to date, but since weeks and weeks there have been so many of us pulling for you- trusting that good things were to come.. even total strangers like me! (so far)... I'm a friend of Mary & Shirley's, and am thrilled to hear how things are going for you... All the best & thanks Eunice for your unfailing support and your warm, detailed, spirited (not to mention well-written!!) updates. We too have yet to meet but it's clear you are a special person.
