If you are new to the blog, you can hit on the "comment" at the bottom, register with your email and leave a message for the family to let them know you are watching Mark's progress and thinking of them.



Phillip and Jerry arrived last p.m. to visit with Mark and follow his care.
Yesterday, Mark was moved to a private room and resting comfortably.
Today when they arrived at the hospital, Dr. White reported that Mark's breathing
was a little more difficult and that he had developed a few more blood clots in his legs.
They are going to return Mark to the ICU unit and start him on a blood thinner to help
with the clots and swelling in his legs. They told the family that throwing a clot to the lungs
is less than a 1% chance because of the umbrellas that were put in his legs during an earlier surgery. Unfortunately, the blood thinners can cause a risk to the brain area where the stroke occurred previously and that is why he is returning to ICU where he can be monitored closely.

Please continue to pray for Mark and his family.

WHEN A BELIEVING PERSON PRAYS, GREAT THINGS HAPPEN.

JAMES 5:16

We are all thanking God for Mark's progress. We are daily praying for Mark and his family. Mark is a tough person and we know that he will get through this with flying colors. If there is anything you need, even through his therapy, please let us know. There are a lot of people asking what can they do. God is so good. We look forward to seeing Mark and his family in Tulsa. Rememember God works for good to those who love the Lord. In Christ, Jerry and all his friends at American Airlines

Hi Corale abd kids,thank you for the medical report of June 24 and we are happy that he seems to be progressing some. On the trip to Oklahoma if you need a "pit stop" we are on the way. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. I would like to get the kids some art supplies to maybe make some drawings each day for Mark. Let me know what they need. Our love is with you. JoJo & Dale
