Glen update - May 11 - 9:00 am

Glen had another night without much rest.  He spent much of yesterday afternoon without any J-tube feedings for a variety of reasons but were able to start them back around 7:00 last night.  Unfortunately, by midnight the tube had clogged yet again.  Several attempts of the 'tried and true' methods to unclog the tube failed.  Just a bit ago, the doctor was able to unclog the tube.  Hopefully soon, they will restart his tube feedings [and hopefully it will not clog again!  especially once he goes home!].

He will continue on oral liquids as well- juices, coffee, jello, broth and popsicles [although they never have banana flavor which is his favorite].

Despite being VERY TIRED and a few little issues that must continue to be monitored, he is able to 'tolerate' his pain, he gets stronger each day, and his spirits are good.

Thanks for your prayers and support.  We are grateful for all the support!

Happy Birthday #15 Courtney!

Randy,
This is Phillip Hobbs. I worked with Glen from 1976 (when I started) until we closed Carrier in 2005. I ran in to Tommy Dodd today who told me of Glen's situation & this web site. Thank you so much for keeping all of us posted on a dear friend.
