Three weeks tomorrow, and the marathon continues!
He is still on antibiotics to fight his infections, and his vitals have remained stable.
Mark is getting more responsive every day. He has so much he wants to say. In the past few days he has been shaking his head "yes" and "no," and is mouthing words, though with his current trach he is unable to speak. Some things are still understandable, while others are not. On Tuesday when mom came into his room and told him hello, he looked at her and mouthed "Hi mom." And when she told him she loved him, he mouthed "I love you." Even the nurse in his room recognized what he was saying. Then when mom told him it was time for her to go, he squeezed her hand and shook his head no.
Keep up the fight Mark! One day at a time. We are all here for you and can't wait until we can hear all that you want to tell us!

We have also been praying for you guys with all that is going on. Keep the faith and hang in there. We will continue praying for Mark and you all.
