Mark is home! We got home from the hospital last night a little after 9 PM safe and sound.  Mark is still asleep this morning, but goodness it is good to have him back!  He has not been on social media or on this Caring Bridge site yet, but I have told him of your love and prayers.  Hopefully he will be able to sit on the back porch today with a box of Kleenex and see just how well you have cared for our family. 

This virus is no joke, and so unpredictable.  I remain symptom free, but we have 2 other family members who have tested positive for COVID (they live in another state - we have not been around them), and it has affected each person in our family differently. Please wear your masks, stay six feet apart, and take care of yourselves and the others with whom you come into contact.  You might be one of the lucky ones that it doesn't effect, or who can recover at home after a week or two of feeling terrible.  But for others, this can be super scary and even deadly.  I am grateful my husband came home, but as of this morning over 193,000 family members in the US alone didn't welcome their husband, father, brother, sister or mother home.  Instead, they planned a funeral.  Let us not forget those families in our desire for life to 'get back to normal' as we care for one another. 

With much love, Fran
