Brother in ER
Winne, prayers going up for Mark and your whole family. Please keep us informed. I can just imagine what your poor parents are going through. If you remember, I met them at the Christmas party -- I was so impressed how concerned and supportive they were. Michael
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.
Win, Prayers will availith much! This board does have prayer warriors and that is a wonderful resource when we need them. We all are praying for him and for all of your family. Please take comfort in that right now.
I am going to pray to for the doctors who are treating him. I don't know what is going on lately with doctors and the lack of care, but they need some higer up wisdom right now! I am praying that God will work on that one!
I know anytime our kids are in jeopard, or just going through a rough time, it is hard on us as parents. We are always the "mom and dad's " I pray they will also find stregth and peace for their sons health.
Hang in there!

Update #2
The vascular surgeon saw Mark this morning. He had trouble pinpointing a pseudoaneurysm as the problem. There's a lymph node right at the same spot. The doctor drained the mass and sure enough it was an infected lymph node. They are going to culture what came out to try and determine what is infecting the lymph node. Mark has been feeling bad for a while so there may have been infection for a long time and he didn't know it.
There's good news and bad news on this. If the infection goes away by IV antibiotics then we are good to go and Mark will be better. It the infection is set in to the plastic of the artificial artery then he will have to have it replaced. This would make the 3rd replacement for him.
Everyone keep your fingers crossed that we have the best outcome!
