Hello again. Well, I was hoping Mark would have another good day yesterday as it was his day in between pain patch changes, but I was wrong. He was pretty sedated and just feeling weak and puny. He didn't feel like talking or doing much and pretty much slept all day. Julia, his hospice nurse, came out to check on him. She brought a scale to weigh Mark and he weighed in at a whopping 143 pounds. He is so thin!!! He hasn't eaten in weeks and it just kills me to see him looking like this. They really didn't change anything in his treatment, just keeping him comfortable.
I took the kids to a movie yesterday afternoon. They are getting stir crazy in the house, so we saw Alvin and the Chipmunks. It was pretty cute.
We pray that Mark remains pain free. He has been resting for the past few days and staying pretty sedated. Please continue to pray for peace for Mark and that he remains comfortable. Pray for all those battling cancer. God bless!!!!

We continue to pray for each of you, praying for comfort for Mark and peace for each one of you. Some how, some way, God is being magnified through all of this and bringing Glory to Himself. We just don't understand the "how" and the "why".

Many prayers and thoughts to the Bertus family. Hoping and praying Mark is more comfortable. Worried, Ronda, because you have not had time to post an update...trying to remember no news is okay, but my heart is not patient!!!! When I wake up, your family is the first thing on my mind....when I go to sleep, your family is the last thing on my mind.
PLEASE let us know if there is ANYTHING we can do.
Love, Kathy Mitchell
I can't think of anything to say other than you all remain in my (and Kathy's) prayers.
We pray that the coming days are as peaceful and pain free as possible, and that you are given the strength and peace needed to get through them.
Your fellow Sooners on Brenton Lane are thinking of you and praying for all of you. We are praying for Mark's comfort, understanding for your children and peace for your family.
God Bless.
