Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

The above quote is by Winston Churchill, and it has definitely been the theme of the day.  Glenn's oncologist visited today.  He had a great talk with Glenn and Mom about staying positive and what to expect in the next few days.  One of the most important things he told them was to just take it a day at a time, otherwise it all gets too overwhelming.  He also emphasized on the importance of keeping a positive attitude.

Today something that we have been looking forward to all week happened: Glenn was moved to the rehab unit!  He upgraded to a larger, quieter room that he will be in for the remainder of his hospital stay.When he was moved, he stood and was able to sit in a wheelchair for the entire trip.  Another great thing was that he sat on the edge of the bed and was able to lift his knee.  He is doing great!

Because Glenn's brain is still healing and he really needs some rest for the next few days, we are holding off on visitors for just a little bit longer.  He and Mom are so grateful for all of the support, kind words, and help they have received during this emotional week.  We all have been very blessed by the love and prayers from so many people.  Please continue thinking of Glenn and as always keep the positive thoughts coming.  After all, attitude makes a big difference!
