Day 21
Well, we are staying in the city again tonight, as the weather is snowing and blowing again.
Jackie and I are here at Chris and Aryn's again, although Colin is more brave than we are, so he drove out. I don't know how the roads were. ( He just called and has made it home alright) We went to Red Lobster for Jackie's birthday supper, and managed to get everyone but Kristen there. We missed Dad of course, but need to keep up with real life.
The therapists were giving Glenn a workout again today. His lungs continue to be of concern to them, but they leave him in his chair for 2 1/2 - 3 hours to help fight the congestion. The physio invited me to come to one of the sessions so that I can learn how to help flex his feet to keep his Achilles tendon and calf muscles more loose. The OT came in this afternoon, and was happy with the improvement on his right side. He was moving his fore arm in and out at her request, and she said his muscles generally are more loose.
Dale applied for and got a part time job at the Sears warehouse today. He'll start on Wednesday. He hasn't been getting enough time at the Depot. so hopefully he'll catch up a bit.
Everyone had a nice visit with Glenn today, and he was pretty calm until this evening. Actually he slept a lot, so we left for coffee, and generally let him rest as much as we could.
Thanks for your comments, we appreciate them and hey, guys from work, nice picture! I'll be sure to read all the comment pages to Glenn over the next few days. He'll be happy to hear from you and I can tell you I'm happy about the underwear on the mascot! Hopefully he won't have to wait too long for Glenn to be back!
Thanks for all your support and prayers! We need and appreciate them.
It's a new day tomorrow.
Louise

Hi Guy,
We sure are pulling for you; after all, who is going to be our cabana boy this summer if not you?
I've been following your progress on this blog site and am really thrilled with the progress you have made to date. Sorry I haven't been in contact since I last saw Louise, but I am in Nova Scotia and it' one hell of a drive. Hang in there Glen, you are in my prayers every night. Joanne
