Happy Happy Happy Halloween

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
