After another week of tests, =Mark is finally scheduled for surgery today around noon. His situation has improved as they have gotten his blood sugar and blood pressure under control. It appears now that they will do two or three bypasses and possibly repair a heart valve. He is feeling well, and I have kept him well supplied with condiments to make the food edible. He has appreciated the e-mails, cards, and phone calls. It helps relieve the boredom. I'm hoping to post some good news later tonight. He probably won't be able to receive any phone calls for a few days until he gets back in a regular room and begins the recovery process. Once again, I'd like to thank everyone for their concern.
