July 22

We got an email from Pittsburgh this evening. They finally got the films, but no report from Mark's procedure here. (The funny thing is while talking to Dr. Downs last night, he mentioned that he specifically put on there to send the report with the films and he dictated his name and phone number to the reading room on the report so that the doctors in Pittsburgh could call him directly with any questions back here in Opelika). I will pull it off the computer first thing in the morning and fax it from my office to them. Hopefully we'll hear something tomorrow rendering their opinion on the surgery and when the optimal time would be to do it. Mark got on the scale today and has gained a total of 6 lbs back (from the 32 lost). He is definitely making progress. We are seeing great strides in him every day. It is unfortunate to think that he will have to go back to the chemo, but it is inevitable.

Everything now seems to be falling into place. We will anxiously await the verdict from Pittsburgh and roll with whatever it is they tell us. Please keep praying that we are guided in the right direction. We thank all of you for your continued support and prayers. God bless!!!!
