Afternoon update

Mark is home from the hospital!!!! YEAH!!!! One less hospital. He's doing well, gaining some strength and mobility in his weaker side too...All things moving in the right direction. Now he just needs to be scanned head to toe for more possible aneurisms so they know where they are in the future. No surprises.

Grandpa is not doing as well. I went to visit him today and he's not as confused and disoriented as he has been the last two days, but his kidneys are not functioning well and his blood is too thin. They are waiting for a kidney specialist to figure out that problem and then he will be getting a transfusion to try to solve the blood thinning issues. He's been waiting all day and as of 2:30 he hadn't need the kidney guy....I hate hospitals! If he needs medical help, where is it when he needs it???? Grandpa has also lost some left side coordination both in his hands and legs...similar to stroke symptoms but so far tests are coming back negative for stroke. He is doing therapy for those symptoms. He is talkative and was happy to see the kids, but medically he's a mess!

Prayers are still needed for both, but if you need to direct extra attention my grandpa could use it most! Thanks so much everyone for checking in!
