Denny — Fighting Forward, One Hour at a Time

Tonight, Denny’s story sits in that fragile space between survival and the next battle.
After a severe electrocution caused his heart to stop, he was airlifted for emergency surgery. In those critical moments, doctors made the only decision that could save his life — amputating his left arm. It was a devastating loss. But it kept him here.
Now, the fight shifts.

His right arm is being monitored closely due to a suspected blood clot affecting circulation. Doctors have started heparin to thin his blood, and nurses are checking his wrist pulse hour by hour. In intensive care, circulation isn’t just a number — it’s everything. Every beat. Every sign of warmth. Every indication that blood is still moving where it needs to go.
And then, amid the alarms and lab values, came a moment of fragile hope.
As sedation was gradually reduced to assess neurological function, Denny responded to stimulus by moving his legs.
It may sound small.
But in critical care, small movements can speak volumes. It suggests that signals are traveling. That the brain is communicating with the body. That there is connection. That there is possibility.

He survived cardiac arrest.
He survived catastrophic trauma.
Now, the coming hours are about protecting circulation, evaluating brain response, and maintaining stability. Recovery at this stage isn’t dramatic — it’s careful, measured, deliberate.
This isn’t the end of the fight.
It’s the next chapter.
Tonight, hold space for him. Send strength to the medical team navigating each precise decision. And send steady support to his family, who are living minute by minute in a world measured by monitors and hope.
Sometimes hope isn’t loud.
Sometimes it’s a pulse under careful fingers.
A small movement in a hospital bed.
Quiet — but still there.
