Today is a very special day for two reasons:
1. 14 years ago today, Glenn and Mom were married, making us one big, happy family.
2. 3 months ago today was when Glenn was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Both of these days changed our family forever.
I am so grateful that Mom met Glenn and brought him into our lives. He is such a good man and we can't imagine life without him. I am also glad that they have each other during this difficult time. Although the last three months haven't been easy, the pain has been eased by their love for each other, which in turn has strengthened their relationship. It's a little bit of a silver lining.
Glenn had his follow-up MRI last Thursday, and on Monday we finally got the results. Glenn still has two small tumors in his brain, but they are shrinking. The treatments have been working, which is awesome news! He will continue doing chemo five days a week, once a month for a few more months, and then they will do another MRI to monitor the progress. Overall, it was a better diagnosis than we could have hoped for and Glenn's spirits have definitely been lifted!
Really excellent news! thank you for the update.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a good post to read! Your family has much to celebrate. Happy belated Anniversay to Glenn & Linda. I saw the pics that Linda posted on her fb wall yesterday.....what a beautiful day it was 14 yrs ago. You all look so happy.
ReplyDeleteThis post speaks volumes of the growing love you have all shared through those yrs. Now the strength you are gaining during this touch challenge is adding to the existing bond your family has already proved.
May Glenn only continue to attain better health over the next months as he goes through further treatments. There is a huge support system standing behind all of you at this time as it shows strong and wide. I am honored to be in the cheering section and inspired by your family to appreciate ALL that life holds.
Kind regards,
