MARK WAS AND (IS) MAD ABOUT BEING MADE TO WALK!
Today has been an action packed day!! Let me Tell you about it....Before 7am Mark said he was hungry. He drank and ate all of his fruit. They removed the left drainage tube, and said that Marky would walk today! This was an adventure. He had to be unhooked from many machines and set up on portables. Because of the tubes the drainage containers had to be carried. It took 3 people to carry assorted machines and help Markey walk down the hall and back. This was so awesome! When the doctor asked Markey how he was doing, he gave her the feel sorry for me look and said "My Heart"! It was great! She replied,'Your heart is getting stronger'. Markey didn't like that answer. He got back to the sitting chair and fell asleep. He was moved to the bed and given a seditive. He had the ports removed from his neck, and he ate lunch! He had soup, crackers, and chips. He was blowing bubbles and a whistle to help with his lung capacity. He had a port removed from his hand and a new one placed. He posed for pictures with his doctor and played with Batman. He will get up and walk later. What a busy day for a young one!
Notice there is a port in his neck, used as an IV
Blowing bubbles to exercise his lungs
Blowing lots of bubbles (notice the port is now gone from his neck)
This is Dr. Brian Reemtsen he is Chief of Congenital Heart Surgery
( also the Doc who performed Mark's Fontan Surgery)
AND DID A WONDERFUL JOB!
Joy, everytime I see Marky in the pictures you've posted, I get all teary eyed. Not because of the condition he's in, but because of what God has done on him and for him! Marky's life will always be a testimony of how Awesome our God is! Just remember that you and Marky (and Bella Bella) are continually in my prayers. I love you...kiss Marky Parky and pat Isabella for me!:)
