Mark Update

Out of necessity, Mark started work last Monday. The doctor said he could only do 4 hour days for the first week, so that was a good way for him to ease into it. Working definitely wore him out (he'd come home and take a LONG nap each afternoon) but being able to leave the apartment really seemed to cheer him up. Other than work, we've pretty much stayed around the apartment, just relaxing and watching lots of movies. Mark will start full time tomorrow, and we're hoping he's able to get through it. He's been able to get around a little better without his walker, and we're eager to get updates from his doctors. He has 2 appointments next week, so we'll know more then.
I wanted to reiterate how appreciative of all our friends and family for helping us out during this hard time. We have really appreciated all of the support, calls, cards, food and gifts and the kindness and has really helped us stay positive.

I cannot believe all of this craziness that is happening with your husband! This must be so hard on you! I am glad he seems to be recovering and that he is able to go back to work. Good for you for staying so positive through all of this. You're awesome! Michael says hi too.
