Please know that we are thinking of you and your wife.  Our prayers and support are with you both!

[vicki595]

What an ordeal for both of you. I'm happy to read she's coming home. She should do well in familiar surroundings with all the family support.
Sometimes it feels like we're given more than we can handle but somehow we get to the other side!  Stay strong Mark- I'm lighting a candle for you.  xo

Hello mark. I am sorry to hear this. I am happy to hear that things are improving. Take care of yourself and your wife. We are okay here. Thinking of you and sending prayers, encouragement and prayers.
Yes the LORD is able to do great and mighty things.
Continue to trust and lean on HIM. HE is Jehovah Rapha our healer.
Praise the LORD for HIS keeping power.
Continue to look to HIM and continue to work your program.
Hugs, Debbie

Mark, I'm sorry for your troubles, too. However, you work such a great program, I know you will be fine. You have been such an inspiration to me since I started. Even now, the fact that you are posting here during this time shows how connected you are and that you know isolating is the last thing to do. Post back when you can, it's really not the same w/o you at all.

I am so sorry to hear this Mark but the one thing i am very thankful for is you are clean and able to help her.  You 2 have a very strong marriage and will see this thru.  Time and patience will be the key for awhile.  I am sending prayers up for all of you.  Keep us posted when you can~
