We just heard that our dear friend and sister in Christ,
Sue, had an injurious car wreck. Our love, thoughts and prayers are
with her.
One never to let moss grow under his feet, Mark now has us in the hospital - he is in the bed and I am on the couch/bed. Yesterday at clinic his heart rate excited the nurses who decided they had had enough of Mark and sent him to the cardiac wing of the hospital. It wasn’t long before the cardiac nurses had his blood pressure and pulse back in line and now they are working on his heart rate. They are telling us it may take a couple of days. Since we are having to stay here just let me say this is a super nice place - brand new and very high tech. There is a monitor over Mark’s bed that is constantly beeping and flashing bright lights - Mark says Belle would love it, Matthew too. Mark has leads stuck all over him that go to the monitor. (Of course he is wishing for wireless) There is a window by the door where his nurse sits and monitors the monitor over the bed. He is being very well taken care of. We have seen an array of medical people including a technician that did a sonogram of his heart. So amazing!! The consensus is that this problem was caused by the 34 pounds he has gained in the previous 4 days and the chemo. He is receiving medication for fluid retention so hopefully he will be back to his running weight soon!
Tom and Debbie just stopped by to sat Hi and tell us it was a zoo on 7C today. They had to sit in the “Festival Seating” area. It was a good thing he was feeling well and didn’t have to stay long. It can be a very madcap area.
Please continue to remember us in your prayers.
Love from Little Rock, Karen
