According to Glen he "slept great!" last night, so we'll try the melatonin and warm milk again tonight ... maybe we can string two good nights together.

He actually seems to be making some quick progress with the hand therapy. Even though the ALS general rule is once muscle is lost it's lost, the therapist said she thought she could get some use of the small hand muscles back. The first day we started the exercises it took the full 10 minutes to get through 1 1/2 sets, with great difficulty. Tonight, he did two full sets with relative ease, and didn't need a rest break. It was good to see.

A friend from UTC has joined the Gears for Glen ride team along with his wife and daughter! Glen's nephew Brian is also going to try to join the ride. This is really shaping up to be a fun event, and the fund raising continues as well. At last check, Kev's personal fund raising was a little over $2600, and the team total was over $2800. Kev has raised his goal again, to $3000.
