Hi Valerie.
This is Theresa, Jimi's wife. I do the prayer list at church. We have
been keeping Mark, you and the family very much in our prayers. It is like
we all know him and your family well. The power of prayer works so well, I
only wish we could get the non-believers to see this. I am glad Mark seems
to be getting stronger already. We didn't know that he had sugar diabetes as
well. That makes the fight a little more challenging. It sounds a little
like Jimi---He has several health problems as well. GOD is in control...I am
so hard-headed at times it is so unreal, Like I can do anything, Just keep
your spirits up!!! That is the answer... I am beginning to sound real
preachy... So I'll go on. Hopefully some day we can meet each other and go
out to lunch or something. Our husband's can talk fly fishing and our
daughter, Amanda, will keep them in line.
Keep Jimi in your prayers, he is going to the east side of Austin to
pick up an airplane to rebuild for this gentleman. He isn't in the best of
health, and hopefully his truck will make it. It is like 12 hours to and 12
hours back and couple of hours in between to discuss this plane, Jimi
pushes it quite hard some times.
Please keep us posted as to Mark's progress and to how you and Bridgett are
doing.

went to see Mark yesterday. He looked really good. He had his first
hyperbaric treatment yesterday. They are doing 2-hour sessions. He is no
longer on contact isolation. Dr. Kober, one of the surgeons, said he was
pleased with the surgery and that he doesn't think that Mark would have
walked on his foot again the way it was.
Talked to Mark this A.M. He had just had his bandage changed. This is very
painful and they had given him some morphine so he was doped up.
BTW-Dean when you called the other day Mark had just been given some pain
reliever so if he didn't make much sense that is why.
Mark now has one of the trapeze bars above his bed for exercising. He is
getting stronger.
