Thanksgiving Day

Thankful to get to visit with Mark and Lola at U of M Hospital today. Mark is able to eat broth and noodles and his health seems to be gradually improving. Thanks to God for his healing power, love, for friends, and family.

Yesterday they went in with a scope to see if they can find out why Mark is having so much stomach and chest pain. Earlier this week they took him off the solid food and put him back on broth. He is still having a lot of stomach cramps and can't seem to sleep through the night. Please keep praying for God's healing power.

Mark seems to be feeling a little better each day. He still has his days and nights mixed up, but they all seem the same in the hospital. He is still able to eat potatoes and broth. His feet hurt. They think it is neuropathy from the meds he is on. This makes it hard to walk, and Mark needs to walk to keep getting better. Please keep praying.

Mark was able to have mashed potatoes and gravy today for dinner and is still feeling good! It is another answered prayer and closer to God's healing. Thank you for all your prayers!

Mark is doing well. He gets to have chicken broth and Gatorade to drink. He walked two miles today. Great job Mark! Thank you God for answered prayers. Thank you to Lola for being there to keep Mark fighting. Thank you to all who are praying for strength and healing for Mark. Please continue to pray, God is listening!

Came home from visiting with Mark and Lola this afternoon. Mark is still weak and tired, but he is starting to look a bit better. The doctor came in and said the GVHD seems to be less of a problem with the new Thymogloblin Medicine. They are now thinking they will continue it this week instead of trying campath and they are able to reduce some of the other medication as well. Lola looks good too. Continue to pray for strength and health for Lola.
