All I can say is "WOW"! Glenn is still making incredible progress and the past two days have been the best yet. I know I keep saying this, but Glenn is doing
amazing. The doctor visited him today to tell him that all of the therapists and nurses are so impressed with how Glenn is doing. To give you an idea, the doctor said that originally they were planning on keeping him in the hospital for 4-6 weeks. Today, however, the doctor informed Glenn that he is going to be moved to a new room tomorrow and they are planning on releasing him next weekend. YAY! This all has given me so much hope that if his body can recover this quickly from something as traumatic as brain surgery, then it will give GBM a run for its money. I truly believe that all of the wonderful notes, emails and prayers that everyone has been sending has made all of the difference. We have all been so blessed by so many.

Glenn "pedaling home". |
More good news:
-Glenn got dressed in his own clothes today. He is now sporting cozy sweats and t-shirts instead of a drafty hospital gown and he feels like a new man.
-He walked up and down the entire hallway using a walker. He has also remastered the skill of walking backwards.
-With his therapists' help, he was able to climb up and down 5 steps. (Before we know it, he'll be planning a trip to Everest!)
Wow Uncle Glenn! You are doing so well with your rehab. Like the pedaling, good medicine. Good to hear ALL the family is positive with their encourgement of kicking cancer's butt. Love and prayers!-Ty
