Mark has been feeling better since the weekend. He is having a little bit of abdominal discomfort, but much better than with his last round of chemo. We hope this is a good sign. He has been up and more active recently as well.
All of the family is gone now, with the exception of Mark's parents who are here indefinitely. We gave our Auburn/Alabama football tickets to our nephews who were here visiting and let them go with Calen and Colton to the game. They thoroughly enjoyed it and got a taste of Auburn and it's traditions. After the game, we picked up the boys and took them to Toomer's corner and let them join in the festivities of "rolling Toomer's". Mark and I went to the tailgate for a short while. He enjoyed visiting with his friends and colleagues, but the cold began getting to him and by the time we were leaving he was experiencing the numbness and pain in his fingertips that the doctors warned us about.
We are waiting for Mark's oncologist to set up our referral to MD Anderson. Hopefully in the next month or two we will be able to visit with their doctors in Houston to get yet another opinion and find out if there are any more options for us. We continue to pray for healing and strength and have been very blessed with great friends and family. Mark keeps his prayer card of Saint Peregrine by his bed and reads it daily-thanks so much Debbie!!!
