July 2

Hi everyone. Mark is making slow progress. He actually went in to the office on Monday. Andy drove him in and he spent a couple of hours up there. Most of the time was spent visiting with everyone, but that was okay. He made an outing out of the house yesterday to the pharmacy and then out to eat lunch with his mom and dad.

The catheter is still out. Things aren't quite back to normal status, but we are happy that the catheter has stayed out and pray that things recover as they should.

Our next big step will be scheduling the procedure to check the colon resection sites to make sure everything has healed. We will have to get that done and FedEx the films to Pittsburgh before they can schedule the ileostomy reversal surgery. Hopefully we can get that scheduled soon. I am just waiting on Mark to tell me he's ready to undergo the procedure and we'll get started.

Mark still has not put on any weight. He is down 25 lbs from surgery. We are trying our best to fatten him back up.

Thanks to all of you for your continued support and friendship. Keep praying for healing and strength. God bless!!!
