The doctor decided they wanted a lung specialist to come and visit and evaluate Dad. He talked about using a scope in exploratory surgery of some sort to make sure that all the infection is in fact draining and that there are no pockets of infection hidden. They would also like to insert a scope through the trach. to look for infection there as well.
More about this later...that is all the updates for this morning.

My Dear Uncle Mark,
I know that it will be so long before you read this but you have been on my mind constantly since I left Texas on Saturday. So I thought maybe if I write you, you can read it and know how much everyone loves you. When I got to the hospital on Friday I was so shocked to see you...no matter how many times you hear someone describe how you look no one can truly prepare themselves for what you feel when you walk into the icu and see you for the first time. I guess growing up you tend to look at your dad, uncle and grandpa as invincible, so to see you lying in that bed truly took my breath away. I tried to imagine what you must be dreaming at the time, I told Brea I hoped you were riding unicorn's with God, and I truly hope you were. I just wanted you to know that going up there to see you every day was so hard so I can only imagine what Aunt Betty is feeling. You would be so proud uncle Mark, she has been so strong for you, and for every one really. Yeah I saw her sad at times but you would be proud to know that she has been a rock for you and the whole family. You have had so many visitors... of course you have you are such a wonderful man, I can only imagine how many lives you have touched with that sweet smile of yours. You have got to be one of the most genuine people I have ever known. I just want you to know that I am praying for you everyday. I want you to get better. I love you very much. One of your favorite niece's. Jen.
Family knows that Herb and I were in an auto accident and are confined. Neither of us is much better but we know that our misery is only a fraction of Mark's. Add to that the fact that I couldn't remember my password this post is work. I have managed around all of that so I could post something for and about my sister.
I know that Betty also has been worrying about us - she is such a caregiver. I have wanted to wrap my arms around her so many times because I know what the road ahead will be like. Love builds such bonds. 26 years of history brings Mark and Betty to the place where you do anything to help each other. After my husband had brain surgery and he had recuperated he said the one thing he knew for sure was that if I was there he would be fine. He said it was about absolute trust. Your family would take care of you when you had no control over your own life. He told everyone that he knew he was wrapped up in a blanket of prayer. Betty, may you and your children know that Mark has peace because of the love and trust you have shared as a family. I also believe that later he will want to get better for all of you - to prove himself. I know that the life Betty has lived equips her for this task at hand and she will have all of us in awe. May all of our children know this kind of love from a spouse. Right now I think God's greatest gift is a loving family. You are always in our prayers.
