We met with Dr. Farmer this morning. It was nice to see everyone in the Cancer Center again. We got hugs from Nancy, Andrea and Alveda who have all taken care of Mark throughout his cancer battle. Dr. Farmer also greeted us with bug hugs. She was not excited to see Mark in the shape he is in. She is still concerned about the low grade fevers he seems to run. They are only about 99.0 degrees now. She is switching his antibiotics to stronger and broader spectrum ones and also ones to cover anaerobes in the gut. She also wants Mark to work on putting weight on. Starting back on chemo at this point would be way too dangerous, so we have to wait which isn't good either.
It was a tough visit to say the least. We have a very tough road ahead.
Mark wants to try and make the 8th grade football game tonight in Russell Co. We will see how that goes. I hope he can make it.
Thanks again for all of the continued support and prayers. God bless!!!!

Ms. Bertus -
You don't know me, but I am currently taking your husband's Advanced Investments class. I just wanted to tell you that a lot of us are keeping your family in our prayers. Also, I know what it's like to have a loved one in the hospital - my dad was very sick several years ago. It was extremely hard on my mom and I, and I know how you feel. Remember that God really does work miracles - He worked one for my dad, and I hope He works one for y'all.
