Mark started the day with a temperature and it progressed and continued to go higher. The doctors stated it was probably going to pneumonia which isn't unusual. The fluid in his lungs has continued to increase and he is now on antibiotics. He had a rough start today and by the evening time they decided to put a chill blanket underneath him. By 8:00 pm his temperature was 102.5 but as of 12:30 am it was down to 101.3. We had alot of people visit today (nieces, nephews, cousins, and Bree). He wasn't as sedated tonight and seemed more comfortable after they added a fan to his BLAZING HOT room. Bree was her usual entertaining self and seemed to enjoy trying to get a rise out of Mark. She was making up things to try to get a reaction out of him. He was very active tonight with moving him arms and head when there was alot of talking around him. He is getting more baths than he has ever taken on his own in his life. He gets 2 a day. He is one squeeky clean fella!!!
Your continued prayers, visits, emails, comments, phone calls, and card means so much to all of us. Sometimes people come up to visit and they can't go in but just remember they might be doing things to help Marks progression at that time. I truly appreciate all the support that we all have been receiving.
I just wanted you to know that the cell phone doesn't always work in the hospital. My cell phone #281-728-0372. Visiting hours are everything but 6:30 - 8:00 am and 6:30 - 8:00 pm. I was unable to visit with the doctors like I wanted today so I am going into the hospital extra early Saturday morning around 5:30 am to try to catch them before their rounds.
Today, I had just started to cry in the hall with my head in corner and some one put his hand on my shoulder and said he was a minister and asked if he could pray with me.... I guess God new that I needed comfort at that exact moment.

Hey Guys --
I know I keep calling and calling all day ma --- but it's because I can't help it. I thank the Lord that he is surrounding you with people that love you right now... because that is exactly what I prayed for Him to do.
The part about Brea really made me laugh --- because that's just how Brea is.
God I wish I could be there. I feel like I am having ups and downs --- you know some parts of me think that things would maybe be better if I could just be there to talk to him --- I know that's just not true but these few days away are truly truly killing me. I love you all - my family is such a remarkable blessing and I am so glad that we are all as close as we are. When you talk to Dad --- remind him that I love him and that he is in my thoughts and prayers constantly all day. Every minute I get a second... all these subway trips, redlights, ferry rides, walking through the park, I am thinking of him and you guys and just saying an endless amount of prayers. I know Dad would have been mad later if he had known I didn't go to New York, and I know there's not anything I could do there to make things better right now, but I still feel guilty.
I just want to say that I know the Lord is taking care of him right now. You know, my Dad is an amazing guy, and the Lord saved his life for a reason. This part is just hard, we are all in such a hurry to see him getting up and making these remarkable improvements that he just isn't ready for yet. I guess patience is a virtue that is difficult for me. Thank you everyone who has been so incredibly amazing. I can't wait to come home again--- I love you all. Please kiss my Daddy for me - tell him that I love him.
My thoughts are with you and the rest of the family. I know deep in my heart that Mark will be up and around soon .
God looks after special people and thats what mark is .
