 As some of you may already know, Mark is in the hospital and has been since Wednesday. He went in because he was in a lot of pain and had a fever. In the last week he has had around 7 liters of fluid removed from his abdomen. He is getting his stents replaced today as they could be a source of infection. He was in good spirits when we went to visit yesterday, he was saying that he was less then impressed with the food, but the pain shots made up for it! You have to love a man who keeps his sense of humor through it all! We are hoping that he will be coming home soon, however at this time we don't know exactly what day it will be. Please keep the prayers coming! I will keep everyone updated as news comes in. I also wanted to let everyone know that the Kindle is really coming in handy right now so thanks again to everyone who pitched in to get that for Mark. It makes these trips to the hospital a little less horrible!!!
