We have never really got into detail as to what is really wrong.. But it is a heart/lung combo issue right now..

I am sorry for not getting a lot of detail out there.. I didnt really get a chance to ask her if I could.. It is kind of like handing out a phone number with out getting permission.. You are pretty sure you can.. but you really want to clear it first..

I noramlly live by " it is easier to ask forgiveness, then ask for permission" but not when it comes to things that are that sensitive..

I if I get the go ahead, I will record it, and type it word for word... May take a month to get all of the propper spelling..

Sounds like pneumonia or something if he is fighting an infection and on a breathing machine. And if that is what it is it would makes sense that he was sick and let it go too long. It is a nasty infection and can take a while to kick.

Thanks Pat, that explains the no balloons, no visitors thing. They are probably discourging any visits and the ones that do have to gown up and limit there visit. 15 years of hanging around nurses hearing stories have taught me one thing, Mark truly is in the fight for his life.
Hang in there you old yank. You still have a lot more feathers left to ruffle.

This part to me is great news. I've seen too many people get in the hospital and mentally give up. If he's still raising as much **** as he can in there, he's got a much better chance of fighting through this.

Of course knowing Mark the way we do, I'm starting to wonder if we shouldn't have sent the balloons to the nurses that have to put up with him.
