Comings and Goings . . .

Mark had his appointment with Dr Kaufman yesterday (Thursday). It is always a major effort to get him in the car & transport him to Grand View, so he was quite tired when we returned. The MRI had some positive aspects, those being mixed with some decrease in his functioning abilities.
We look forward to Kris' arrival from Thailand, arriving by early evening on Monday. My brother Mike, and wife Mary Lou, plan to stay til Tuesday to greet Kris.(I could not have cared for Mark this past week without their help). We're praying for a good trip for Kris and that she will be able to sleep on the plane. It will be great to all be together for Thanksgiving!

Upcoming MRI

Mark has had three treatments by IV and that has gone well. Dr. Kaufman has ordered an MRI for the beginning of this coming week. I'm assuming that we will learn the results at the next appointment on Thursday, November 19. Mark sleeps a lot between meals and goes to bed very early. He is comfortable and content. We are getting a lot of support from our church family,including Kris' support team who are taking turns to come each evening. I appreciate all who call or help in numerous ways. Our morning Aide continues also. We are managing okay, even though it is difficult to see him slowly declining. God is faithful to us always.
