As you can imagine, being in the hospital since December 8th with no estimated time of departure, has caused some anxiety and depression for Mark.   That is probably our biggest hurdle at the moment.  The anxiety inhibits him from doing the physical therapy to the max and the physical therapy is what will get him home.  Every day seems to bring a new challenge.  I am told this is to be expected.   There are little positive steps he is making but please continue to pray for physical and mental healing and strength....and maybe even a BIG improvement one of these days.   Thank you all for everything.
