A small set back

I just received word from Betty that they are awaiting for the paramedics to come pick Mark up. They are taking him back to Hermann. The pulmonary doctor came in today and discovered that he has a lung infection. He wants Mark moved back to Hermann, so a drain tube can be put back in, they can administer antibiotics and they can get him well. Betty said that Mark did not feel real well last night nor did he fell too well today but he was able to sit up in a chair and was able to move himself a bit more.

Even though this may sound to be a set back, Betty seems to feel that it's just a small one. She feels that the week to 10 days that he will be back at Hermann will be a bit of a healing time and once he's back at TIRR he will be ready to roll.

Thank to all for absolutely everything you have done for this family.

Until I know more,

Praise God, that it was caught before it got even worse, and for Bettys positive attitude, its a set back but we want him as healthy as he can be before he starts all the hard physical work ahead. Count this as another blessing from God. "Father God, we just lift up Mark & Betty to you at this time Lord, asking you to heal and strengthen Mark,and to keep Betty in good health and allow her the rest that she needs to take care of Mark, and asking that you would continue to reveal yourself to them in all they do. In Jesus name we pray. Amen" As always you are in our continued prayers. Love, Sallie, Scott & Noah Keaton

One small set back, but for Mark's good to get this under control. But great news that he was moving around and sitting up even though he wasn't feeling good. Betty hang in there and thanks for your endurance. Mark you are being thought about and prayed for daily.
My love to the family.
