Sunday Message from the mouth of Mark

Mark spoke with his Canadian friends Earl and Flo Chrsitensen today to thank them for all they have done for us. They informed us the heart surgeon that performed my surgery is ranked 3rd in the world. This was not just a run of the mill surgery.Dr. McCarval had only performed 2 aurotic endogrqafts previous to mine. Primarily because patients die before they make it to the hospital.

I am completely over come by the outpouring of love, concern and prayers in my behalf. It's hard to put into words how thankful I am to each of you, my friends and family for everything you have done for me and my family. Although I will never be able to thank all of you I know God will greatly bless each and every one of you.

Love,
Mark

Christi and Anya made it home from Trinada. Clayson and Anya are running around having the time of their lives. Mark had a special webkinz for both of them and they are beginning to think this hospital thing is not to bad. Although I just heard Clayson whisper to his Dad, "Daddy when will we all be back home again." Mark replied, "it won't be long."

Love,
Stephanie

I'm HOME!!!! Finally!!!!!

Stephanie and Clayson picked Anya and I up today from the airport and it was the happiest I have been in weeks. My heart has been longing to be here to support them and now I am!!

God has worked so many miracles!! I saw Mark for the first time today and he looks good. Well I want to write more but Mark probably needs to rest. The Kids have worn me out, he surely is worn out too.

Continue to Pray, Miracles are happening every day!!!!

Stephanie -- Thanks SO much for remembering that I want to help! I'll take care of it and THANKS AGAIN for letting me do something, you have NO idea what it means to me.

I hope this works, so I can finally add a comment. This gets a little tricky for us old, technically challenged people.

We're so thrilled to hear of your great progress, Mark, and your strength and faithfulness, Stephanie. It's been wonderful to be able to get your good updates. You've both been in our prayers since Warren and Marjean first sent the word about your accident. What great answers to prayers. Thiele and Eddie send their love also.

Eddie had a double hernia operation Friday, and is still quite miserable, but they're hanging in there.

We love you all,
Aunt RaChel & Uncle Finch
