Mark did not get going right at 8:30, still waiting around 10:00 but in the holding area. Patience begins....remember it's a virtue....
It's 2:00 p.m and just talked to Betty, Mark is out of surgery. With the gall bladder out he is heading to the shock intermediate care unit (where he was before in bed #9, he will be in bed #8) for a bit. The surgery was a bit more agressive than normal, his gall bladder was the size of a small eggplant so it had to be removed from another incision rather than through his belly button. The upside to this is that he did not have to have a chest tube put back in.
What is another incesion? We are going to call it an addition to Mark's map. Now this is a map of the journey Mark is on and he is going to share with many.
If all goes as planned he will be moved from the intermediate unit straight back to TIRR.
Thanks for the continued prayers. love and concern..
This family loves all you guys our there.
Until I know,
Karen

Thanks Karen for keeping us up-to-date. Great to hear that Mark's surgery went well and now he's rid of that nasty old gallbadder. Wonder if the gallbladder problem could have caused the jaundice earlier in his hospital stay? Not that it matters, at least getting it taken out will relieve his pain and get him back on the road to recovery.
Love to all
Cousin Janet
