Day 33
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all. It was a quiet day for us today. Glenn needs the weekend break to help recover from all the work he does through the week. He had a shampoo and shave by the time I got there today. He was sitting right up in the bed, they are getting him used to holding up his head, so he looked good. He wasn't too interested in the computer today. The weekend physio came in to check his chest, and laid Glenn down to pat his chest and suck out some gook. After he left, Glenn fell asleep and really konked out for a couple of hours. I watched some TV and when he woke up I helped stretch his right arm. He slept with it down along his side, which is the first time he's done that in a while. The kids came up to see him and helped him to scan to the left. We all are learning alot about rehab, and everyone is very willing to help in what ever way we can. I took clothes in, but don't expect that he will use them for a day or two. I thought I'd better do it because I may forget on Monday. This way they are there, whether or not I am.
There's really not much more to report today, it's nice to have some down time, so we enjoy it.

Louise and family:
What a great way to keep everyone informed on Glenn's progress. We have been thinking about you. We had heard about the blog site and finally have a chance to visit it. Keep up the great work Glenn, Louise your strength is amazing, comes from a good old Saskatchewan farm girl background, right. Just know that you have friends praying for you and if you ever need ANYTHING we are only a phone call away. Our thoughts are with you.
