Donelle,

After the Sabbath, I went out and ran another 2.5 miles...my thoughts the

whole way were for the strength that I am gaining, let it be transferred to

Glen and his caregiver (and to Phil, also) so that they can make it through

this trial.

I felt the energy flow...I hope it reached you guys...

Marty

Well...now I know why " we " had such a " wonderful " day yesterday!!! The

prayers and positive thoughts came flowing through, Marty...big time!!!

Thanks...can you do it again today?? Not putting any pressure on you, am I?

LOL

Seriously, Glenn had the best day yesterday he's had in months. Smiling,

talking, tearing up with emotions, eating, awake and no diarrhea all day long.

The Oxycodone was helping with the pain and we applied a Fentanyl pain patch

last night, so am hoping that will alleviate the pain on a continuous

basis...thus adding immensely to his quality of life. The Hospice Nurse told

him

to eat/drink anything he wanted within reason...don't attempt a diabetic coma,

but enjoy....so we had Hot Fudge Sundaes for " dinner " last night...big

ones!!! He knew the effects would not be fun, but he did enjoy the sundae...

He's

still sleeping, so I'm not sure how many times he was up during the

night...I know of 2. Keep the energy flowing, Marty, but save some for

yourself!!!

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle

Caregiver to Glenn
