At 3:00 a.m., the hospital called Kari to tell her Dennis' heart had arrested and that she and the boys should get down there right away. She called me and I drove her, Kevin and Sam to UCLA (Freeway is very nice at that time of the day :) Matt and Rita and Pastor Steve and Nancy met us there.
We arrived around 3:30 a.m., but were not allowed to see Dennis as a team of doctors and nurses were working to stabilize him.
At 6:00 a.m, some more issues arose in Dennis' body. Apparently he was bleeding a lot and Dr. Ardahali decided to do exploratory surgery to try and resolve the issue. He could not find the source of the bleeding and simply packed him and sewed him back up. Bleeding then slowed, but Dennis was extremely swollen with old and new blood everywhere. He was extremely critical with many, many things wrong with his body
Kari, Marcia, Karla (Kari's sister) and I ended up spending the night in the waiting room.
