Hospital Update
Mark did not go into surgery until 2:30 on Monday. He was admitted into room 506 Jones pavilion Memorial Herman Hospital. 713-704-8506. We thought that it was going to be just the one night. The orthopedic surgeon said it would be one night. The plastic surgeon had his own agenda. Today (Wednesday) they went in and re cleaned the wound and the skin around it. This took about 4 hours total and must be pretty painful. Mark is back on Morphine........you know how I feel about that. Hopefully,he won't get too messed up on it and won't remember stuff and make phone calls at all hours of the night!!!!! Friday, they will either go back in and clean it out again or start the repair job. Depending on what it looks like. So, I guess he will not get out of the Hospital until Monday or Tuesday of next week. Mark is in good spirts but is totally board. Me, I feel as though I am reliving August....going back and forth to the Hospital and trying to work and be a mom to Matt. Thank goodness we still have friends that are praying for us and help us get thru this. Pray that Mark can leave the hospital with NO wound Vac and NO I.V antibiotics..... They are really concerned about infection. Hopefully,this hospital stay will be the last. Love to all. Betty

Thanks so much Betty for taking the time in your busy schedule to let us all know the latest. I have such admiration for you and your ability to handle all this stress. I know the rest of us are stressed out with our jobs and the holidays, but you have those stressors plus Megan's wedding and Mark's surgery!! Wow!
Wish Mark was not stuck in the hospital again and not going through such pain, but we can only hope and pray this will be the last time. It's great that he can keep a positive outlook. We are all so proud of what he has accomplished since his accident, truly a miracle.
Love to all, Janet
It was good to hear from you Betty thanks for the up date, I wanted to call but did not want to disturb you if ya'll were resting, but the prayers never stop. You and Mark are such amazing people, you are both so positive and inspiring. I will continue to pray for your strength and Marks healing. I know this has to be a stressful time for you with so much happening at once, but don't forget BETTY in all this take a little time for yourself and just try and relax. (I know thats easier said than done) Love and prayers Sallie Scott & Noah
