Went back up to the hospital for a lot of the evening. Janet and Karen drove down to see Dad. He looked hot they said when they were in there, his fever had gone up. He didn't look hot when I saw him. He's still pretty jaundiced. Brother Larry came from the Crosby Brethren Church to see Dad today as well. I missed him but Mom was very pleasantly surprised and happy to see him. She said he said some very nice prayers for her and gave her some extra comfort today.
When I went back up there I realized there was something different but I couldn't put my finger on it.....
Oh my! The ventric. tube from his brain was gone and in its place were 2 staples! YAY!!!! What a surprise! They didn't even tell us they were gonna do that today.
They also told mom that a bed in the neurology ICU opened up and he will be moving there tomorrow. This is a good thing, even though it sucks for a while that he can't have the same visiting hours. From what we know, only immediate family can visit there and only for like 20 minutes every 2 hours or something and only from like 10-8... so the visits will be unfortunately fewer and even more precious to us.
This is all for the better though. They are performing the tracheotomy tomorrow morning early and plan on doing the surgery on his pelvis on Monday.
For those of you that asked about donating blood, you can go to any blood bank and donate it in his name and it will credit his name in case he needs it.
Love you all --- I am so exhausted. Thanks for everything...really. I know there are lots of you reading this and thinking there aren't really the right words to say right now, and that's okay. Just keep on praying because the prayers are working.
Love, Meg

Wonderful news, lots of good things happening. We will say a special prayer for Mark EARLY in the morning. I am glad Brother Larry was able to come by today. God bless! Sallie, Scott & Noah Keaton
Bradley's,
So glad to hear the good news, sounds like the recovery is progressing! I did make it to the blood center to donate for Mark... For anybody looking to donate, you'll need his home address and
D-O-B to make the allocation, which can be done on-line, or over the phone. We'll be praying for ya!
