Well, today was a little better, although Mark did sleep quite a bit today to make up for the sleepless nights over the last few days. The doctor didn't even want to bother him this morning because he wanted him to rest. He has had a lot of pain recently and they are trying to determine if there has been any change to the pelvis. They took another set of X-rays, ordered new leg braces, and a new back brace. They have been evaluating everything again and again to determine the best course of action. Hopefully, it will all be resolved soon.
I met the entire medical team today. Doctors, therapists, social workers, etc. Everyone has a job and everything is coordinated. They are going to have a family meeting with us next Friday where they discuss their goals and ours. Tomorrow we have a family support group meeting with other parents and wives. It is good being around others in the same situation, as I have mentioned before. You don't feel so alone in the situation.
There will be some setbacks over the course of this treatment I am told, and they assure me that this is normal. They also assure me that these hurdles get jumped and that Mark will improve after each. I think they have seen so much that they know what they're saying and I just have to BELIEVE!

I pray things go well for you and that Mark continues to make steady progress. One thing I can say about the Army's medical care is that they don't mess around when it comes injuries such as this. They want nothing more than to ensure that the Soldier gets the best treatment ever and that the family gets the best accomidations possible. I'm so grateful things are going smoothly. I pray that things continue to go well.....I believe it will. Marks a great Soldier and I see him making it through this with great strides. Thanks for the updates and god bless.
We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

God Bless your family!!
