Mark’s Story

Site created on September 10, 2011

On September 7 2011 Mark suffered a gun shot wound to the head.  He was taken to Sandstone hospital and transferred to North Memorial Hospital where he underwent emergency brain surgery.  We found out the bullet cannot be removed as it is too deep into the brain.  He was in a coma and is paralyzed on his left side.  He was listed in very critical condition.
