This is an ongoing story of our family as we struggle day to day. Marky has a very rare disease called retro-peritoneal fibrosis which simply means there's a fibrous coating of crud all over his organs. His prognosis is unknown, since the disease is so rare. We appreciate all who visit Marky's blog and thank you for your love and support.

In Mark's surgery today they found spindle cells in his upper colon. These may be carcinoma or sarcoma malignancy or it could be a pseudo tumor. They also put a catheder in his heart which comes out through his chest to allow the doctors to do more diagnostic testing and give them a direct line into his aorta. Pathology reports are expected back midday tomorrow (Wed). Until then no diagnosis has been made and Mark will stay the night in the ICU. Please keep Mark and his family in your prayers. The Jeanes' appreciate all the encouraging words and acts of kindness that have been done in their behalf. Pray for a miracle and pray that they can get some real answers soon!
Caleb prays for Marky at every prayer we say (so do Paul and I--with constant interrupting reminders from the three-year-old). We love you guys.
