Glen's Aunt, Karine, will be visiting Glen during the 1:00 p.m. visiting hour on Sunday. We would ask that if you want to see Glen tomorrow you please either visit him during the 10:00 a.m. or 7:00 p.m. ICU visiting hours. If you happen to be with Glen when Karine arrives, we will be asking you to come back at a later time.
The ICU is beginning to turn away visitors who just appear outside of normal visiting hours. They have been MORE than lenient with family and friends in overlooking the 2-visitor limit and the amount of time we have been able to spend with Glen during his whole hospital stay so far. They know that positive family and friend support is essential for his recovery. We are so thankful for all of you!
As a favor, I am asking that if you are upset with what you feel is sub-par treatment of Glen, please do not bring those feelings and opinions to the hospital. Bad karma should stay at home. Please don't take your frustrations out on the staff by being overbearing, condescending or by ordering them around - they are there to help Glen - and we believe he has received very good care. Remember that when there are visitors outside of regular visiting hours we are interrupting the routine flow of care, whether we realize or not.
Now is not the time to be assigning blame to anyone or with anything that was done to Glen. None of us even know exactly what happened yet - so if you think there is something that should be addressed regarding his care right now please email me at dgips@gipsgaits.com or call me at 713-966-9497.
I'll send another status update as soon as we get one. I've been told that the neurologists will be making some kind of determination on Glen's condition on Monday, but I don't know what time, so soon as I hear, I will post.
Please forgive me if I have hurt anyone's feelings or hit a nerve. That is not my intention. It is with the utmost respect, love and care for Glen that I have addressed the above issues with you - his friends and family.
Sincerely,
Darla Gips
