The doctors said today that his lungs are in very bad condition. This isn't news I surely wanted to hear. He has pneumonia in both lungs and the antibiotics haven't cleared it yet. They increased the antibiotics dosage today - and hopefully that will be okay.
Mom said they lowered the propofol again today... meaning he is waking up more and is still showing signs of being in pain. This is just torturous for me to watch... I can't stand seeing him in pain.
I need him to get better. I miss him and love him so much. Today is a one of the bottom of the rollercoaster days... it sucks.
I had a dream last night that I called moms cell phone to ask her something and that dad picked it up instead. I dropped it on the floor in shock and picked it up and it was Dad. He sounded calm and told me he was fine and that he wanted to surprise me. I woke up in a better mood, feeling positive, and then of course hearing news like this today feels like it popped my balloon of good energy. This is so so hard. I hate this so much.

Hi Meg,
This is Harry and Gayle Bennett in Oregon. We talked to your Grandma yesterday and she told us about Mark. Please tell your Mom that we're saying prayers for him - and all of you.
Megan,
Please keep the faith...you all have done so well throughout Mark's hospital stay! Also, please know that we read your update daily and will continue our prayers!

I would like to suggest a day of fasting to pray for Mark and his healing. If God wanted to take him, He could have taken him with that fall. So I believe we have to tell the devil just where he can go with his pneumonia, that he can't have Mark. I believe God still has a purpose for him or he wouldn't be here.
I'm no scholar on fasting, but we do corporate fasts in our church and our pastor says it doesn't have to be food...just anything that might steal your time from Him. That could be TV, a sport, computer, etc. Or maybe you drink too much coffee or cokes, eat too much chocolate...whatever it is that you could give up for a day. And when you feel like you want to do whatever it is you gave up, then use that time to ask God to help you with that area in your life, and then pray for Mark and his family. God knows our hearts, and we all want to see Mark get well. But maybe it's time to step it up a notch, by taking it down a notch...meaning God answers "knee" mail. I do a lot of my praying while driving, cooking, cleaning...but I'm not a kneeler, really. But I think tonight (actually it's already AM) I will humble myself before the Lord to pray in a way that doesn't come easy to me, but I feel is immediately necessary. I hope others will join me.
Megan, tonight it was you who I wished I could crawl through and hug. This is a gut wrenching time for you and I could see the pain your eyes when I was there. You must continue to believe in the report of the Lord. He is the best 2nd opinion, He ought to always be our first! I know it sounds like a broken record, but don't give up. Remember the mustard seed! I love you all. Sheryl Malek
Sheryl... thank you so so much. You have no idea how much I needed to hear that.
I'm not giving up --- I am still praying and I know that he will come out of this better and stronger than he was before. I know it. I will be stronger because of this too, and maybe this is what I needed God to prove to me that I can fully trust in Him with everything. You know, with school approaching, I remembered how heavy the burden was on my shoulders last year. How much I didn't give to Him to let Him handle...
He can handle much more than I, and I am learning that the hard way right now.
Thank you so much. All my love to you and your family.
