Mark's Status

While I'm blogging like crazy, I'll go ahead and throw out a Mark update. He's slowly getting better. He finally got the PICC line out of his arm 3 weeks ago. His labs are looking good (ie infection free). He should be starting physical therapy this week. He can stand a bit straighter and isn't using his walker every day; hopefully the improvements will keep coming.
As for the long run, the doctor still doesn't really know what the end result will be. He says maybe 6 months...maybe a year...maybe longer until he's as good as he's gonna be, but we really just have to wait and see.

That's so good to hear that Mark is improving and doing well! I can't imagine what you guys have been through, so it's good to hear he's doing well now!

Hey Kid,
Thanks for finally updating. Loved the UT pics. We are so grateful that there is a little improvement with Mark. I haven't gotten the pics from Matt & Ashliegh's wedding yet. We love & miss you both!

Finally! Glad to hear some positive progress is happening. Ask Mark if he wants to switch: he can be pregnant and I'll be in pain. The girls pray for the two of us as if we're one and the same, but I try to remind them Mark's condition is more serious, as there is a definite end in sight for me.

Love all the updates and pictures of you and your UT buds!
