Medical Update

John has been on with some more news.

This morning Mark is going for an Xray, he’s not exactly sure on what or why but it’s certainly a welcome activity.  Also, Mark is going to get dressed in his own clothes and they are going to put him onto a tilt bed.  It’s going to be a busy day.

Considering it’s only about a week since his surgery (his neck must still be healing) he is amazing. John said "Everyone who sees him is just blown away by him. He’s reading the newspapers, using the ipad, throwing and catching his balls and....... getting the odd snuggle with Jenna." 

Finally, our John is a bit of a snitch, he tells me they were all on the quiz team but they thought they should let the staff win! 

Oh yea right!

    So good to hear all the good news about your recovery and I am sure Jenna is enjoying her little snuggles!

    Cant even begin to describe how proud I am of how you have both dealt with this situation with such love and care for each other and with such a positive attitude.

    We all think about you both everyday and send our thoughts and prayers to have you both home soon.

    Hope the X-ray goes well today... keep us posted...

  8. Hi Mark & Jenna,

    Since your Dad told us about your accident you have been on our minds every single day. Clearly the love you are receiving from so many people, and your positive attitude towards your recovery show that you truly are a ReMARKable Swift, and a remarkable guy.

    Keep up the good work and you'll be home soon. If I bump into you round at your Mum & Dads then the drinks are on me (well, I say that, what I mean is I'll put the kettle on).

    All our love

    David, Angie, Adam & Joshua
