Glen is now tucked in bed and will hopefully get some much needed rest. He is VERY tired. He walked for a 3rd time and his pain was manageable for the day. In many ways, he had a good day on his path to recovery.
On an unfortunate note, in the late afternoon his J-tube [a surgically inserted feeding tube located on the left side of his belly that is connected into his intestines just past the stomach to receive some nutrition] clogged. The nurses have tried several de-clogging techniques and have tried a medicine called 'clog-zapper' [no kidding...that's the medical term]. But so far, there has been no success in un-clogging his feeding tube. In the next hour or so they will try again with a second round of clog-zapper. If that doesn't work, the doctors will have to decide what to do.
We REALLY need that tube to unclog and not require any additional procedures. David [his brother] returned today and will be spending the night with Glen. An exhausted Peggy and the girls will be returning to the hotel shortly.
Thanks, as always, for the prayers and the support!
