3rd Week - Mark looking his handsome self!
Hanging with Dad and keeping occupied with laptop biz. Keeping a real sense of humor!












What do you know, Mark is receiving calls right and left. No shock to any of us - he's a pretty loved guy! We managed to capture his fabulous rapport with the nurses. They are a great team at LDS Hospital. His positive, dry wit has them all charmed.












Mark's bday celebration - March 11, 08
His nieces and nephews were thrilled to shower him with love and gifts. He was happy to have all sorts of family around -- and we were happy to be around him! The best birthday gift - MARK GOT A BONE MARROW MATCH!!! The miracles from Heavenly Father continue to bless us. That piece of news on his birthday brought us all to grateful tears!

Everyone looks great, it is so much fun to see pictures! It's been a long time sense we've seen everyone. We are so excited to hear about the bone marrow match! If anyone deserves it Mark sure does! We're praying for you!

Mark and Fam:
You're amazing. Your hope and zeal is inspiring. I don't think I've ever met you, Mark. But I remember Suzanne telling me about your sweet Madeline when we were in high school. My little bro is Downs also. And from that, I knew you and Michelle were special people. I know special parents get to have children such as Madelyn.
I've been keeping updated with your blog and continually have you in my prayers. Good luck to you and your family. :)

Love,
Katy Ball (Newman)

Mark and Michelle,
Our Prayers are with you. Wish there was more we could do to help in through your recovery and transplant. We are thrilled with your miracle of finding a bone marrow match. You are great examples to us, and we think and talk of your family often. We have never stopped missing Las Vegas. We will keep updated on your blog. Please know we are cheering for all of you.
Love,
