this summer has FLOWN by!! i honestly cannot believe it is almost august. it has been 3 months since mark was diagnosed with sarcoidosis. what a journey it has been. god has so used these months to make us stronger. we feel our marriage and family have so been blessed! it amazes me how god uses everything for his good! i have a hard time remembering what life was like before. sad to say but it almost feels normal now. mark is such a strong person and amazes me with how he has accepted this new way of life! we go back to national jewish in about 4 weeks to repeat some tests and see if his disease is progressing. the last 3 weeks mark has been feeling worse, he feels like he has taken some steps backward. he has good days and bad days, but more often we are seeing bad lately. if he continues to get worse we might have to do some chemo drugs to hopefully help him into remission. i am really going to push a lot of rest on mark in the next 4 weeks and see if that helps. i know the power of prayer and i ask for it! please pray that mark starts feeling better more days then not. pray for healing and strength against this nasty disease. thank you all for being such amazing friends and family! we feel so blessed!
