Evening

You have the dubious honor of a guest editor tonight. I (Mark’s father) arrived from California this afternoon and found Mark perceptibly improved over my last visit. He had his usual evening body temperature control problems, but has added a new gesture to his vocabulary – a shoulder shrug which we interpret as being somewhere between a yes and a no. As much as he loves to talk, it must be incredibly frustrating to have that ventilator tube down his throat. Both Chris and I are feeling much more optimistic – largely based on the feedback from others with very similar problems who have recovered substantially all of their mental and physical capabilities. We are sure that the enormous ground swell of good thoughts from the small army of Mark’s friends has helped with the turn around. Keep it up!
