Update on Mark

Mark was moved to Victoria about 2 weeks ago! He is now in a rehabilitation center. It took a few days to settle in and there was not a lot or progress initially, but once they took that darn catheter out, he started to progress by leaps and bounds! He was doing so well they took the IV out of him too. So, with no wires attached to him anymore, he focused on his therapy. I am very happy to say that he can walk now! Amazing. I haven't seen it yet, but I talk to mom and dad and Lisa daily. Mark was doing really good for days, but there is still the depression to deal with and also the speech which usually takes the longest to come back. Sometimes he has sad days or angry days when he doesn't want to do therapy or have anyone in his room. I pray that he finds the strength within him to not give up and keep trying to do the best he can in therapy as its the only way he'll be able to get around by himself in his own home.
