They have taken him away.

We got back to the prep and holding area and saw a multitude very nice and professional people. The operating room nurse, Courtney, was very young and sweet and Mark didn't have any trouble making jokes with her. She asked about his tattoos and piercings. He asked if she wanted to see. She replied "No, that is okay?" Then she paused and sort of under her breath said, "I will get to check them out in a minute!" He met his match! The anesthesiologist was very thourough and professional and has a very good understanding of Mark's history. We are in the waiting room. It is not real conducive to large numbers! Oh well, we can take shifts. Well, at least they can! hehe - I have to have some pull.

Dr. LamonLt came in too see us and we were very pleased with our visit. He answered all of our questions and when finished he was agreeable to letting us pray with him. Our personal preacher Uncle Donny - (He works CHEAP) Did a phenomenal job of asking God to give this man all the tools he needs to do what is best for Mark. We are confident that, while the plan during Mark's case may change from minute to minute, he definitely has Mark's best interest at heart. He said that the goal in this type of surgery is to work on a cure and he plan's on hitting a home run. We have to appreciate his optimism.

Today could be very long. We were blessed last time to get regular updates. They will attempt the same, but would not promise. We will see. I will update as I know more. Keep 'em coming. Missy
