They made it!!

Brad and Carena made it and we were so excited to see them. They showed up around 6:00 am and since they had been flying all night we decided to let them get a little rest. After we went and ate breakfast out by the pool and decided to go to the hospital early to show them around. We ate lunch there which was really good! Brad and Carena got to watch Mark do his physical therapy, and it was really fun to have them there. They helped push him through his excercises and of course they all kept the therapists laughing. Mark's really good at doing that on his own and with all of them it was really bad. After therapy we went to the ICM clinic so Mark could do his exit interview. Everyone was going to dinner at a Churrascaria which you didnt have to ask the boys twice to eat at a place that serves a ton of meat! It was fun to go with everyone to dinner and the place was really nice. We have a really great group of people that are here and they are all so nice and so much fun. We are sad that we are leaving but we excited for everyone and for what is to come.
Eating lunch at the hospital
No he's not sleeping he was supposed to keep his eyes closed while she ran a pen along his feet and legs, and he was supposed to tell her where she was doing it and if he could feel it.

She didn't want him cheating

Marks battle wounds. She was rubbing a pen up and down to see if he could feel it.


Just waiting for the next exercise
This was the first time they got him up with a walker and he did great!

Brad wanted to make sure that he was still taller than Mark


With our favorive therapists. Of course they are all our favorites and we especially love them!

Mark and I with Marcela. She was in charge of scheduling and everything and she was AWESOME!!

  1. Yea! I am so glad Brad and Carena got there ok. Your time together will fly by. It is fun to see them in your pictures. I can't believe that you will be home tomorrow. We have really missed you, and I guess Mark too!
