Glen Update - Day 4 - 9:30 AM

After a rough couple of hours before and during the transition from ICU to a room, Glen finally settled into a room last night.  This will allow one of us to be with him all the time instead of going in and out during the day and not being able to see him from 9 PM to 9 AM.  Last night, his brother David stayed with him.

Once he got settled in and got some extra doses of pain medicine, he had a relatively good night.  This morning, his anesthesiologist increased his continuous doseage of pain medicine.

As each new day begins, we are thankful for not only the large steps, but the small steps as well in his progression toward healing.  We are praying that the number of good hours continue to increase and the number of bad hours will decrease.  As the pain becomes more manageable, the biggest concern for the next week is possible leakages and infections.

Thank you for your continued prayer support.  You can also add travel mercies for me and Courtney to your prayer list as we travel to Sweetwater this afternoon to spend the weekend with my parents and have an early birthday celebration for Courtney with my family.
