Mark is doing well today. He is up in the recliner and has already taken a walk this morning. He felt a little nauseated today, but they are slowly letting him take sips of water. YEAH!!!! He will get another dose of Flomax today and later will get the catheter out again. Hopefully this time it will stay out.
His hemoglobin came back at 6.4 this morning. We feel like it was diluted since it was drawn through his port with IV fluids. They just redrew another one and we're waiting on it. He really looks to good to have a number that low, but if it's true he will get blood today. They have slowed down on chasing the electrolytes. They are starting to normalize.
His temperature only went to 99.5 last night. He is still on the 3 antibiotics. When the preliminary blood cultures come back we hope to be able to stop some of them. We will see.
Overall, things are going in the right direction. Mark has a huge battle scar to show everyone when he gets back.
He is back to talking and is joking again. He is also entertaining us a lot at night. He gets a little confused in the middle of the night and says and does some funny things. It will make for good stories later on.
Keep Mark in you prayers as always. We have felt God's presence here with us. God bless!!!

Good to see things are turning around. I suggest a recorder for Mark's midnight ramblings. It might come in handy.
Seriously - we keep y'all in our prayers.
