Well, this evening's visit was good, Mark just had a shave from one of the nurses. This afternoon he had a massage from guest services at the hospital compliments of Mark's nephew Chris and wife Angela, and son Julian (our great grandson, Julian). It was amazing and we don't know how the masseuse managed with all the tubes, pins, plugs, etc. But Mark nodded his head he liked it and we think it made his day today better. The gallbladder, which was infected, is coming along o.k. as the infection is being withdrawn by a tube.
We spoke with a doctor this evening, they took an ultra-sound today of the kidney, pancreas and liver and they found an obstruction in the liver and will do the same procedure as they did for the gallbladder. The kidney is fine (wonderful) but the readings from the pancreas are still not complete. Lots of prayers that is not a problem.
They want to do more ops on both his legs this week sometime. With all of these other vital organ mishaps going on we shall see. Tomorrow is another day and each day is a little brighter and they are doing everything they can to help Mark get through this.
Hope everyone was a little cooler today and had a good day!
Our hugs to all – the Alexanders

God Bless you Mark. You have so many people that love you and are sending you the power of preyer and healing and you, of all people, know how powerful that is.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you and all your family. Every passing day brings healing and brings closer to us. I look so forward to seeing you when you are well enough. Until then, know that you are loved and that you and your family are in my thoughts.
Blessings and aloha,
Patti
I don't know if anyone is still reading this but I hope someone does. I'm Mark's old roommate (the first one) from Elmwood and have been trying to get in touch with him for a long time but misplaced his number well over a year ago, right after he called me.
ReplyDeleteI'd be grateful if any of you would either forward me his number or let me know I'd like to get in touch.
It was so great having Mark as a roommate, it made me sad to leave rehab so soon. What a blessing.
