Wow! We have had a wonderful morning. Our favorite respiratory therapist came in first thing and she had managed to get approval to put a trachea cover on Mark. He was immediately able to speak. In true Mark fashion he never skipped a beat. He almost immediately said "Happy Birthday Dad". No one had to tell him it was his Dad's birthday he read the date on the wall board and it clicked. What a birthday gift for his father.
We have been so blessed. As we listened to the Count your many blessings song last night Mark said he must have had 3 billion blessings. I simply agreed.
The doctor has ordered a swallow test. Passing that would allow him to eat solid foods and possibly transfer out of ICU by tomorrow. Mark wants to come home or atleast be transfer to Cape or Sikeston.
We are blessed to have the knowledge of the power of God.
Love,
Stephanie

We love you all!
Christina, Justin, Steven,& Eric (ER 6-11 as Mark would say).
That is the best news I could imagine! Mark's voice will be booming all over the hospital soon, or maybe even back at home!

Great news!!!! Hide the blackberry.
WOW!!! That's great.
When I think of Mark, one of the first things that pops into my head is how he is always SO kind and generous and willing to help anyone at anytime. ALWAYS. When asked "what can I do to repay you" his standard reply is..."I'm saving my blessings because someday I'll need them." I think his someday has come & you guys are cashing them in!!! And 3 billion blessings seems like a pretty good estimate!!! It's great to see such miracles happen in the lives of those we love!! Heaven knows you guys have been miracles to others.
Still praying & wishing & hoping for the best.
Love, Samantha Jarrett
