Mark is still recovering in the ICU. He may be moved to the cardiac floor tomorrow or the next day. He is still having a lot of pain, which is normal after this type of surgery. Thankfully they are able to manage his pain with medication.

When he speaks it is usually to say "Praise the Lord" and "Thank you, Jesus." Since things look pretty stable, Martha has gone home for the night.

Please continue to pray for Martha as she travels back and forth to the hospital, for Mark as he recovers, and that they are able to continue to manage his pain.

Praise the Lord for bringing Mark through this surgery, and may Mark continue to recover his full strength! Amen!
