Sorry for no updates, even though we are in Florida. We have had spotty internet connections here at the Fisher House and they are finally talking about getting it upgraded. I guess the demand is high. So, to sum up, things have been going well. We did not meet with as many of the folks we would have liked to meet with last week. Hopefully, it will all work out this week. We do have our family meeting tomorrow morning and that should help take care of quite a few at once.

Mark has amazed us with how well he takes care of himself. He seems to get very frustrated, however, with certain things, like changes in his schedule, changes in the therapies, etc. We keep trying to tell him that he just has to go with the flow and that these changes are meant to get him out of here faster. He has developed a double vision problem over the last couple of days and the doctor has ordered a CAT scan of the brain and a visit with the eye doctor. Hopefully, we will hear something by the end of the day or tomorrow at the latest. Please keep this latest glitch in your prayers.

We enjoyed a nice weekend where we were able to take him out to dinner, the mall and an outdoor shopping center where we enjoyed the beautiful weather (sorry Clevelanders). I must admit, this is one aspect of Florida I miss right after missing Mark.

I will try to keep you all posted on the happenings this week, WiFi permitting.

Ok, this double vision thing needs to go....Mark, can you imagine two of me. That is even frightening to me. Hang in there and do what the doctors and their people tell you. It is all gonna be good. Take advantage of Mom's home cooking while you can! I think about you lots buddy! The picture your mom sent me is on my desk!
