Glen has had a good morning and early afternoon. He walked for a second time today. He has not used his 'on demand' pain button as frequently today. His strength and alertness gets a little better each day.
The doctor said they were not going to re-insert the nose tube he lost last night. This is great from a 'my nose feels better without it' standpoint for resting. It is not so great from losing the functionality of why the tube was there to start with. Losing the tube does not change the steps in the progression of recovery but does increase the risks of leakage and other complications that could arise as the next steps are taken. But the risk to replace it is much greater.
So for now, we will be grateful for his 'good' hours and take each step as it comes. [And pray for no more choking spells or losing tubes before their usefulness has expired].
Again, we thank you for your prayers and support.
