Dennis was finally transferred by helicopter at noon from our hospital to UCSF. He will have yet another CT Scan. Tomorrow morning at 7 AM the neurosurgeon will drill a few holes in his skull to release blood that has been collecting. Then he will have a second surgery to cauterize a vein so there will be no more bleeding. His blood pressure is very high, which they are working on to control.</div><div class="elementToProof" style="text-align: start; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br></div><div class="elementToProof" style="text-align: start; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Dennis is in good spirits, peaceful, and we believe he is in good hands. It will be such a relief to feel "normal" again. Ron was there when they bright red helicopter took off in a clear blue sky.</div><div class="elementToProof" style="text-align: start; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">My daughter is on her way to Mendocino. She and I and my dog will drive to UCSF tomorrow, hopefully to see Dennis and we are prepared to stay for however long it takes 'till we can bring him home.</div><div class="elementToProof" style="text-align: start; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br></div><div class="elementToProof" style="text-align: start; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">We both very, very much appreciate being close to you and we feel so blessed and grateful. I t doesn't sound nice for me to say this but please do not respond. I need to respond to specific, pertinent communication re the logistics etc. Know that Dennis cherishes you and you are part of his world. I also have a smart and feisty little dog that has been at the vet's and is on medication and outsmarts me when it comes to making him swallow its medication. </div><div class="elementToProof" style="text-align: start; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br></div><div class="elementToProof" style="text-align: start; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Hold Dennis in your thoughts and prayers.
