10/17/07 Wednesday Mark goes home

Mark and Ronda are visited by Dr. Farmer, the oncologist in the Opelika hospital. They discuss how to move forward with Mark's plan of treatment, and then they release him.

Matt, Eugenie (Mark's twin brother and older sister), and Angie (Matt's fiancee) fly into Birmingham and drive to Auburn.

Wednesday night is football night for Calen, and Mark is the one of the coaches. Even thought he is less than 24 hours out of surgery, we all head out to the game. Unfortunately Calen suffered his first loss in two years.

After the football game, Mark and Ronda discuss with the boys that Daddy is sick and he has something called cancer. Calen fully comprehended what cancer is, and Colton realized that it was serious. Although scared the boys are brave and are remaining strong.

Later that night Mark, Ronda, Matt, Angie, and Eugenie drive to Birmingham for Mark's procedure the next morning. We drove Mom and Dad's new car...and a good thing too, it has a navigation system and boy was it useful!
