Keep him in your Prayers

Thank you so much everyone for your prayers and well wishes for our family.

Mark is in the ICU and in critical condition. They had to take out a big portion of his small intestine, part of his colon and I believe bits of his liver. We just found out that he also broke his back...but not his spinal cord. At this point, we are not sure if he needs a second surgery for his large intestine or his back. He is not breathing on his own as of yet. We are hoping by tomorrow, he can. He is a very strong individual both physically and mentally...so he definitely has that going for him.

Mark's friend was driving at a high speed when they turned and hit a poll, then rolled into a canal. Mark had to crawl out and move himself onto the road to call for help. He must have been in shock in order to move at all. Mark's friend is also in critical condition but I am not sure of the details.

It is really difficult for us to be away from him at this time. We are leaving early Thursday morning to be with the family and am not sure how long we will be gone.

Please continue to say your prayers, light your candles, meditate and send healing energy his way. It will be a long recovery but Darlene and the rest of our family will take wonderful care of him.

My sister Darlene will keep everyone updated on her blog here. I believe in the power of people circling together. Thank you for circling...
