Tuesday, October 30th

With a small dose of Ambein Mark managed to get a little sleep last night. He struggled with quite a bit of nausea. But was looking great this morning. The hospital staff has began telling us how good looking he is....duh! The nurse reported when she told him she would see him tonight we mouthed no he wouldn't be here. He said he was ready to go golfing.

Dr. Meyer and his staff said they are very pleased with his progress, but we must be patient and realize it is going to take time. He was able to sit on the side of the bed and then with some assistance be transferred to a recliner for a few hours. The occupational therapist gave him an A+ she could not believe the improvements compared to last week.

Mark's parents seem to be holding up like champions. I am very glad they are here for me and Mark. I enjoyed an evening at home with Clayson. He woke up asking for his Daddy. He asked Amy Alcorn his stand in Mom why we couldn't strap his hospital bed to the back of the car and pull him home. As you all know he is a "chip off the old block". Mark may be thinking the same thing.

I know it's hard for him to listen to everyone telling him what he has to do. Please pray for him to have the patience he is going to need to recover.

My heart goes out to all of you who continue to pray for Mark and follow his progress.

Love,
Stephanie

Just wanted to let everyone know that the NRA banquet is tonight at the Elks doors open 5:30.
Mark would have wanted me to get that out of the way first. Mark and I watched Monday night football together last night. He is doing so much better. He still cannot talk, unless you can read lips, but that will come when they pull the the treck. He diffently has his witt. I think he even got exited when Farve threw the touchdown in OT. He is still very weak and needs lots of rest and therapy, but it was good to see those well known smerks and eye rolls.
