Feb.20, Tues.
Glenn had surgery yesterday and was pretty medicated today. He has had a racing heart beat since Sat. night, so they are going to treat that overnight, and possibly give him a corrective shock tomorrow. He also has a fever, but the feeling about that is that his 'thermostat' has been affected by the stroke, so this may correct itself overtime.The good news is that they are going to try a trache mask, that is he will not be hooked up to the machine, but will be truly breathing on his own. They cover the trache tube with filters to hydrate and keep out 'bugs', but it is encouraging to hear.
On a personal note from me, I can't tell you how much we appreciate your support and prayers. We have had lots of visitors, and cards and calls. There is not much to do right now except wait and see how much Glenn will rally. My kids have been awesome, and I'm impressed with their partners as well. They have been with us all the way.I'm very worried and tired and starting to feel like too much time is passing without enough progress. I'm wrong, he's doing well all things considered, but it is hard not to imagine all sorts of things, especially at 2 in the morning. I'm sure lots of you are thinking 'why Glenn?' and I have thought that too, but this is just one of the things that happen that have no reason, it just happened, and now we have to cope with it.Tomorrow is a new day, so I hope we have a good night and a better tomorrow.

Don't forget how awesome you are doing, Louise! You are such an inspiration for your children and you better know it! Glenn is looking better every day and I know this will be a long road but he can do it. You've got some amazing kids along with an army of other people praying for him, so you'll both never run out of support that's for sure. I'm here too...if you need a hug or even some "breathtaking" cinnamon buns. Hehe!
Louise - I am so happy to hear about the progress being made, I know it seems slow and you want it to be faster. I went through some really difficult times last year with my health and it seems like nothing is changing. But time moves quicker than you think - I always focused on 3 months ahead, how much better I would be in 3 months and how all the problems would just be a bad memory. Now that I am here, I a truly surprised how fast it went! Glenn doesn't give up - we have had lots of arguments about work stuff - he is a fighter. Tell him to hurry up and get better, I miss arguing with him :)
You guys are all in my thoughts - make sure to take care of yourselves too, keeping healthy and strong will help Glenn get better too!
