Another answered prayer

Because today was wonderful!  Mark felt good, he looked good, he played his game, read a magazine, watched tv!!!  He was up for most of the day!!  Snoozed for a bit this afternoon but he was so much like my Markie!!  We laughed, we played, we debated!  It was absolutely wonderful!

We have yet to learn a few test results.  Mark has some sort of stomach upset that they are testing for infection.  Also the strain of leukemia he has we STILL don't know (13 days later).  Kinda frustrating but at the same time I suppose it doesn't matter too much.  The treatment is the same at this point anyway.  

He received another batch of platelets today and two more units of blood.  That is definitely helping with his energy and color.  God bless people that donate!!!  :D  He had a bit of a reaction to the platelets earlier, a little drop in his blood pressure and a rash on his forehead, but the nurse said that next time they will just give him a few more preventative meds to prepare his body better and we shouldn't see that again.

Speaking of the nurses...they love my hubby!!  They are starting to give him crap and banter with him throughout the day.  It's so wonderful!!  Now that he's not feeling like he's on his deathbed like when we first came in, his personality is shining through and those who know him, love him.  Y'all know that!!!

That's about all I've got tonight!!  Thanks so much for the continued prayer and well wishes!

Love you much,  B

I am so glad Mark is feeling better! Make sure those nurses pre med Mark with Benadryl and Tylenol next time he gets any blood products! It makes a big difference! Prayers for REMISSION!!! Love you guys!
