Thank you for praying for us. The surgery went well and Mark is back in his room. The doctor took pictures (and gave them to us). Mark’s insides were definitely in need of a good cleaning out, but there were no complications. The possibility that he would need to go to ICU was not realized. Because of the need for him to get powerful antibiotics through an IV for the next week (or more), we expect that he’ll be here about 7 days (and the count on that starts tomorrow). There will naturally be some challenges along the way, and of course the changes to family life affect the other children. We certainly would appreciate your prayers for that, and we’ll update you along the way.
Praise the Lord for a successful surgery! I’ll keep praying as Mark starts to recover.
Praying for all of you!!
Thanks for the update, Todd. Please give Mark and Kelli big hugs from me. I wish California was closer to Texas :). I’ll continue to pray for y’all.
Praise the Lord! Will continue praying for you, Kelli and family.
Praying for him! Feel better, Mark! :)
Another batch of prayers comin’ through! Glad to hear he’s on the road to recovery! I hope you’re doing well through it all, & that your family remains in good spirit despite the challenges.
So sorry to hear about Mark, but praise the Lord that things are going well. You will all be in my prayers!!
