Two weeks ago tonight we got the thoroughly unexpected news that Gary had a brain tumor that had to be removed immediately. You all have been going along this journey with us from that point, encouraging, supporting, visiting, listening and most of all, praying constantly.
Well, this evening at 6:30, they took off all his monitors, took out his IV solution and sent him to rehab. Tomorrow he starts intensive physical, speech and occupational therapy.
It would be totally unbelievable if it weren't for the power of prayer!
Visiting hours are very restrictive in rehab. The patients spend so much time working and rest is required between their sessions. They are normally done by 3:00, so after rest they can have 3 visitors at a time from 4:00-8:00. I'm not sure about the weekend, but I'll send out info about that later. Rehab is located on the ground floor, south of the dining room.
Please pray specifically for Gary's swallowing, that he won't overdo in rehab and that he will be able to build his strength up steadily. He has lost 16 lbs. in 13 days.
Now, go hug all your loved ones and let them know how important they are to you!
