Glen update - May 25th - 7:00 pm

Jennifer went to Peggy and Glen's last night.  She will be there through Saturday. Jennifer says he looks better than he did last week and his scars seem to be healing well.  He still gets fed thru the feeding tube continuously from 6 pm to 8 am.  He is occasionally eating a few bites of soft foods throughout the day [like mashed potatoes, baked fish, applesauce, etc.], but he really doesn't have an appetite to eat or drink anything.  He had lost 11 pounds since Jennifer saw him last Thursday [talk about your rapid weight loss program]. 

They are still trying to settle into semi-routine.  Besides taking care of Glen and all that entails, Peggy has started working jigsaw puzzles again [not a hobby Glen will probably join in even when he is fully recovered..lol].  Peggy has learned more about golf from the golf channel than she really cared to know.  Glen tries to sit outside and take short strolls for some fresh air...but it's so HOT!!  He spends most of his time resting in 'HIS' recliner with the remote control.  A continuous sleep pattern still alludes Glen on a regular basis so his naps depend on how much sleep he obtained the night before.    He and Peggy have their good hours and their not-so-good hours.  He is still weak, sore and tired but overall getting stronger and recovering well.  We thank God for the recovery progress so far.

He and Peggy really appreciate and enjoy all the encouragement and cards they have received and continue to receive. 

As always, we thank you for your prayers and support.  It still means so much as he still has a long way to go.
