Update on Glen

My Grandpa is still in the hospital and I have been spending as much time with him as I can.  He is improving but still has a long way to go.  Sometimes it's really hard to see how hard he is having to struggle.
It is such a blessing that my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Kevin came up for an extended visit just days before Grandpa went into the hospital.  I don't know what we would have done without them here.  The Lord knows what we need and puts things in place to fit those needs.  Uncle Kevin told my Dad last night that the timing of this trip was not their timing.
Two of my Mom's sisters, Margie and Sue came up this weekend to help move Grandpa and Grandma to an assisted living residence so that they can both get the care that they need now.  It has been a neat experience to see my Mom and three of her sisters together.  What a blessing family is at a time like this.
While Grandpa has been in the hospital I have been working on a history of my Grandparents.  It's neat how many stories and memories people are willing to share as they come and visit Grandpa.  It's also neat to see all the family and friends that come by to encourage and support my Grandparents through this challenge.  It is nice to know that none of us have to be alone through this struggle.
If everything goes as planned Grandpa will be able to get out of the hospital on Tuesday.  He is really looking forward to getting out.  He has been in the hospital for about a month and is getting really tired of it.  I don't blame him.  The hospital is not a fun place to be.
