Hello again. Mark is having a good day again. They added an antifungal IV medication to the 2 antibiotics he was on just to cover all bases. He seems to be responding well. The nurse was just in to discontinue the continuous IV fluids, so now it is up to him to drink enough fluids to keep him from becoming dehydrated. The doctor rounded this morning and wanted to continue IV antibiotics for now. He will probably stop by for evening rounds again, so we will see if he makes any other changes.
The nurse was encouraging Mark to walk outside for some fresh air. He hasn't decided yet, but hopefully he will decide to get out of bed and walk around some today. Now that he is unhooked from the IV pole, he has no excuses.
His highest temperature last night was 99.0. They are giving him routine Tylenol which would mask fever, so I'm not sure when they will stop that.
Overall, Mark is better and I am quite pleased. I am hoping for a quick discharge as the last 2 nights sleeping in this uncomfortable recliner is really a pain. They say they are out of cots. I really hope one frees up soon. My entire body is sore.
We are missing the kids terribly. We haven't seen them since Sept 1st. Calen has been sick twice now. Brent and Kathy have had to take both Colton and Emily to the dentist for their cleanings and I think they are getting run ragged with all of the schedules. Colton lost a tooth. I would love to be able to give them all a big hug right now.
Continue to pray for healing. God bless!!!!

Take a look at this org, they may be of some use. They are a network of volunteer pilots that offer free flights for patients travelling to undergo medical treatments:
