Mark loves this indulgence when the nurses can sneak him one. It is a real delicious luxury because he is unable to eat through his mouth and only take small sips of ice water throughout the day until they resolve some chemo complications that have crept up.
John and Suzanne Subaitani stopped in for a visit with Mom and Dad. It was exciting to see Mark's determination in increasing his laps around the ward on his frequent daily walks. He actually got to go outside and soak up some sunshine this week. After being inside a hospital room for weeks on end, that was truly pleasurable for Mark. The nurses come in frequently to put new IV bags on his IV tree or as we like to refer to it - "Meals on Wheels"! He gets wonderful care at LDS. We're grateful for such an amazing team of doctors and nurses.
Mark has a tremendous spirit. He experiences a lot of pain, but he manages to make us laugh and host us in his hospital room as he would host us at his home. He loves company and we love being there with him all hours of the day. Mark's three girls love to drop in. They brought him a tall stack of "love notes" and get well cards. They hug his feet and are so excited to see "fun daddy" is back!
