Praying for them
This is from Jan's (Glen's wife) Facebook page:
Glen is not in ICU. Yay. But he is hospitalized at Parrish Medical Center in Titusville. He was hosp in May for blood clots, at which time they dissolved them & implanted a mesh filter in the vein to prevent more from entering the lungs. The filter may be clogged w new blood clots. He may have passed a kidney stone, which was why he passed so much blood & clots. On top of all that, he is in severe back pain, so something is wrong there, too. He is finally getting the care he needs and, hopefully, will be home as soon as they get all this figured out. Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your care, concern, and prayers. Yay, Prayer Warriors!
Glen has had a rough go of it with a number of issues, including pancreas surgery, a spinal fusion and more since their terrible accident in 2003. Jan was disabled in the same accident. The two of them have been remarkably upbeat and grounded in their faith through it all. But this time is different. While they remain upbeat and grounded in their faith, there is more talk than ever from them about the afterlife. This is serious.

Glen just called me with an update. He is still in the hospital and expects to be there for a day or two yet. The doctors are developing a plan to deal with several issues, all of which are going on at the same time. He was articulate but a bit weak. He is not talking about the afterlife any more but, uncharacteristically, is not talking about getting back out on the road either. A number of issues must be addressed before he, Jan, family and friends know what's up.
It is understandable that he is not talking about getting back on the road but I fully expect him to start doing so soon. The man lives to drive and his determination to do so has brought him through one medical challenge after another that would sideline most.

Happy to hear he is rallying.
