Sept 28

Hello. It's been a few days since I've posted. These seem to be harder to write. Mark isn't doing so good. He continues to struggle with the simple things. Getting up and down are chores for him. He has not been able to get enough calories in to maintain his weight. He is down another 5 lbs to 165 lbs now. Unfortunately he is experiencing quite a bit of pain as well which requires him to take pain medication. He sleeps a lot which makes us feel better-seeing him resting comfortably is better than watching him hurt. He starting vomiting some last night and this morning, so hopefully that is past us. He hasn't had any more of that since he woke this morning.

He did manage to make it to Calen's football game last Thursday night which was quite a chore. He missed Colton's baseball tournament Sunday as he simply didn't have the strength or stamina to go and will probably miss Colton's football game tonight as well. He really hates that, but at this point it isn't really an option.

Thanks again to everyone for all of the love and support during this difficult time. We really appreciate it all. Continue to pray for Mark. God bless!!!!

I am sorry Mark is in alot of pain and having trouble eating. I will be praying that he will be able to eat and that his pain will be controlled.

Isaiah 40:31
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
