Chasing John

Chasing John

I (the Blog Administrator aka Betty) spoke with John and Brenda this morning.  John said he got chased out of the ward pretty quick when he popped in to give Mark the paper.  The staff were busy doing their jobs and Mark was about to have some physio. The ward sister was over in a flash!

John said Mark is much brighter. Seeing his pals yesterday was a tonic and it lifted his spirits even though he got a bit tired afterwards.  He has come through so much this past week it's unbelievable. He is still in some pain but he has not uttered one single word of complaint to anyone. He is still our Mark and our prayers have been answered. He's going to lead a full and happy life but just in a  different way.

Brenda said, this time last week it was BLACK, today we're in the GREY and in time it will be light again. Thanks everyone for all the support and love it means so much to us.

Chatting his ears off!

I've been with Mark tonight, he was a little tired after his friends Bebbo and Ashall had chatted his ears off, well Mark had chatted their ears off too. A great tonic for him. 

Then my mum, dad, Bren, John and I took over and had another good chat. 

It's been a good positive day. And I hope we have many more. 

He has also been keeping up with his little exercises that I've given him, we're working hard.

The Small Things

Today happened to be John's birthday.

Understandably, John said he didn't feel it was like a birthday or celebrating anything until he watched Mark lifted his arm to reach behind his pillow to give John his birthday card.

It's the small things that bring the most joy.  John  x x x
