NOT GOOD NEWS - Please Read

For some unknown reason, last night Glen's blood pressure went very low as did his oxygen level. He had to be put back on the ventilator and a new central line inserted in order to bring his pressure back. However, they have been unable to wake Glen up. A CT scan was performed to see if he possibly had a stroke, but that has come back negative. He has brain activity, some reflexes. Doctors are baffled. This morning, as I type, they have placed a temporary pacemaker on his chest and have called in the team to troubleshoot the permanent pacemaker to see if it has stopped or malfunctioned. His blood pressure is stable at the moment as is his heart rate. Dr. Misselback says that Glen is the sicker now than he has been this last two months and he really needs our prayers. Please pass this note to any of your friends who know Glen - and please take a minute to say a prayer for Glen's recovery from this setback.

Sincerely,
Darla Gips
