Mark had a good day today. Even though he complains about pain, he was much less agitated and the medications seem to be working better. They have changed a number of the drugs to be longer lasting with less grogginess. He has been moving his left hand and fingers much more than before. Now when you ask him to squeeze your hand, he really does it with strength which is a great improvement over a few days ago.
He watched television with his aide and me this afternoon. It happened to be a show he had seen so he kept telling us what was going to happen. We just kept laughing, but he was absolutely correct about everything they were doing on the show. Then the three of us had a funny face making contest. We were trying to get him to make faces and exercise his facial muscles. It was very entertaining. He did not get agitated until it was past suppertime and the trays were late. Once he ate, he was a happy person again, and didn't need medication.
Speaking of dinner, he's not too crazy about the food, but loves the desserts! Go figure.

Hello Lalli family,
This is David and Bridget Strain, we were stationed with Mark back at Ft. Hood in 2005. We just heard what happened from Cory Neal (who was also there back then) and we want to extend our prayers and good wishes for Mark and your whole family. It's been a while since we have spoken with Mark, but we would love to send him a card and let him know we wish him the best. He was such a dear friend of ours, please let us know where he is currently, we would appreciate it. Here is our e-mail, we would love to hear from you. Sincerely, David and Bridget Strain

Your family has been and continues to be in our prayers, The Murphy Family
