Hello Everyone,
First of all, thanks for your prayers and for all the loving ways you have shown concern for Mark and for Nan and their family. Mark had surgery to remove a brain tumor today and I'm glad to report that it was very successful. Mark is now recovering in the surgical ICU and is expected to move to a regular room tomorrow. It's possible that Mark could be home by the weekend. We will keep you posted as things develop.
The pathology report will not be ready until next Thursday. However, they did find that the tumor originated in the brain and had not metastacized from somewhere else in his body. When the report is in, they will begin to make decisions about any follow up.
Kris, Mark's daughter, made it in safely to the hospital from Thailand at about 11:30 this morning. She was able to have a good visit with Mark before he was taken into surgery.
This morning, before surgery, Mark said that he had peace--and he knew it was because of all the prayer from his friends. Thank you for your ministry to the Garises during these days.

Erma and I have been praying for you. So good to keep updated on your progress - how wonderful the expertise of our medical teams today, But even more so, the knowledge that ultimately God gives the healing - and may this be manifestly realized within the next weeks. Glad Kris was able to return for this time.

Mark and Nan, You have been in our prayers constantly since we learned of Mark's accident as he was returning home from Grantham. We are thrilled with the good report on his surgery and we are trusting God, along with you, for more good news next week.
