Sept 11

Hello to all. Mark spiked another temperature last night. Eugenie stayed the night with him. They finally decided it was time to stick a needle into his abdomen and get some fluid out to look for infection and drain the fluid. They took him down to radiology this morning and pulled out 125cc of fluid and put in a drain to pull out more fluid. So far, it has put out another 300+ cc and is still draining. Mark had some pain at the end of the procedure. We will have to wait and see what the culture shows and see whether this is the source of infection.

Lee and Andy just landed at the airport (two of Mark's colleagues from work) and are on their way to visit Mark. They were very brave to fly on Sept 11. He is looking forward to seeing them.

Mark will be on bedrest until 4:30 this afternoon, but we are hoping to get him up to walk or sit in the chair some this afternoon. He didn't get out of bed at all yesterday as he just felt too bad.

Happy Birthday Thad. We may not get the time to call you today, but we remember you and wish you a Happy Birthday. Love you.

Thanks to all of you for your continued support. God bless!!!
