1 year anniversary

So, I've heard from a few that they are still occasionally checking this blog for updates. It's Eunice again and I thought I'd write a quick update.

Dennis has been moved to Canada and we are now caring for him in our home. He is settling in and getting use to living in a house full of children. Dennis is now on permanent disability as he continues to increase his endurance and strength. He also continues with medical follow up in Seattle. He has had a few episodes back to the hospital for water retention issues.

Today, is his 1 year anniversary of his surgery date. It's been an incredible year but we are grateful that he is still with us.

an update by Eunice

Hi friends ... It's Eunice again. I'm writing just to update you on Dennis' progress. As you can see, Dennis has not been updating his blog and it hasn't been without a lot of encouragement. It seems he has lost his passion for writing. He is also uncertain of what he should say ... weird ... i know ... Dennis always had something to say! He's in a difficult place since he does not recall much of the past year (including the events prior to his surgery). In addition, we have converted his computer to Korean for our mom which has become an exercise in frustration for us to use (both Dennis and I don't read Korean). I don't want you all to hang around waiting for him to blog ... I'm not sure if he will ever come back to it. He talks about it but then doesn't.

As for his recovery ... he is attending an intensive cardiac rehab program at a hospital. He is still being monitored carefully by numerous specialists. He will be going for his neurological testing at the end of April which will help us to determine what he will be capable of doing in the future. In the meantime, we give lots of encouragement and keep him busy.

If any significant events occur, I will update this blog.

IIIIII'mmmm BACK!!!!

My speech therapist is harassing me about the blog so I thought i would come on and say hi to everyone. First of all, I'm doing fine and I look forward to being able to converse with everyone soon. Don't hesitate to drop me a line if you want. I wish everyone for a great 2009 and I hope to meet everyone soon.

Hi folks,

Well, Dennis is ready to start blogging again!!! Yippee!!! Over the next few days, Dennis will be reviewing all that happened to him over the past 6 months. He doesn't recall all that has happened to him so we will spend some time digesting the information together. Once ready, he will pick up the blogging. Stay tuned for Dennis ... coming soon.
