Trip to the Hospital

Mark continued to be more tired & lethargic, so early Friday morning I called the hospital and talked with the neurologist on call. She suggested bringing him in, through the emergency room. So we drove down to Penn & they began an intensive testing: Xrays, CAT scans, blood tests, ultra sound, etc. Almost ten hours later he was discharged, as all of his tests were clear. They do think that his body is not happy to be off the steroids, even though he was gradually tapered off. So now he will be back on a minimal amount of steroids for up to a month. They gave him a break too, not having to take his chemo on Friday. :)

Again, this Sunday he wanted to be in Worship Service, so we did go to church. It was a wonderful service. He is asleep now to restore his strength so he can go to the annual Garis Reunion right here in Souderton. We will stay only a short time.
