The below is DIRECTLY from the family (Glen's daughter & son-in-law):
Hi Paul,Also, for those wondering who Glen is, here is a picture of him with his daughter, Erin, on her wedding day.
Most of that information is off a bit. Let me clear it up for you.
The cyst was a congenital cyst that Glen has had from birth. It had absolutely nothing to do with the bleeding. The cyst was drained to provide more room in the skull for the swelling.
An MRI was done on Tuesday and revealed that the bleeding had stopped. Apparently the bleeding has been stopped for a while but that had not been clearly communicated to the family (not really sure that the doctors knew that either). The blood in the brain that has been showing up on the CT scans is coagulated blood from the original bleed.
The coagulated blood will take 2-3 weeks to dissipate.
The doctors were interested in seeing Glen's condition in the 24-48 hours following the cyst drain.
His condition is still critical. Thank you for your prayers and concern, please keep it up! :)
