What a grand surprise for our visit this afternoon @ 4:00 pm. After trying unsuccessfully to remove the ventilator for days, they told us THEY TOOK THE VENTILATOR OUT THIS AFTERNOON and Mark was breathing on his own with help of oxygen. We walked into his room and he was awake and looked so good to us and whispered some words — it was worth a million +!! I tried to tell him not to talk but to wait until tomorrow and to save his voice as we know he will come back with a singing voice. Many of you know Mark cannot sing! It is so lifting and God is answering all of our prayers, giving strength and healing.
Mark was scheduled for surgery today on both legs but it was postponed. They think he will have this done tomorrow but not sure. He still has the chest tubes in but hopefully out soon. I’m sending this out to all of you by mass email and also being forwarded to the ‘Blog’ set-up for Mark by his dear friends. All of you have been so supportive to Mark for so many years and during this hard time, once again. The family appreciates all of the wonderful and loving support you have given us too.
Keep those thoughts and prayers going.
Our love,
The Alexanders
