Hello everyone. Not a lot has changed around here. Mark is still progressing slowly. He doesn't get up and do much yet. He developed some blood in the urine yesterday and we took a urine sample to the lab (from the catheter). It showed a lot of blood and some bacteria, so the urology office started him back on antibiotics today. The preliminary culture was back by the end of the work day today and no bacteria has grown yet, so we'll see. Hopefully this doesn't put our plans to get the catheter out Monday on hold.
Eugenie sent an email today. She heard from Julie's mom (the girl in Pittsburgh waiting on a multi-organ transplant). They headed to the hospital this morning in anticipation of organs on the way. Hopefully everything was a go and she got the transplants. They are a lovely family and we will hope for the best for them. Definitely keep Julie in your prayers.
Not a lot of new stuff here. Hopefully recovery will pick up so we can get surgery number 2 scheduled. We can do that as early as next week. I don't think Mark will be ready then, but we don't want to wait too long and delay the time between surgery and chemo by too much. We want to increase the odds of beating this cancer and so we're anxious to get "the show on the road" as they say.
God bless!!!
