Today was Mark’s 80th day in the hospital in 2021 (I miscalculated in the last post). He was taken off IV antibiotics on Saturday, put on oral doses, and monitored for 48 hours. A CT scan showed some possible infection in the small airways in his lungs, but there’s no pneumonia, and he has had no more fever or chills. He will stay on oral antibiotics for 10 days. The good news is that he got to come HOME!! We’re praying that he can stay here for a long time! He was home for 8 days in October and 10 days in November. We’re hoping for 25 in December (the rest of the month.)
He’s weak, doesn’t feel good much of the time, and his tastebuds are tweaked, so it’s hard to find anything to eat. He gets a bit discouraged at times but does his best to smile and show his appreciation. We’re finding joy in this beautiful Christmas season. May your hearts be filled with love and peace throughout the holidays.
Dear Mark. Your are in my prayers and thoughts.May God showers you with his healing. Your friend Alex from Roseburg
