As some of you may have heard, Mark was in a motorcycle accident in Colorado. He hit a deer, was thrown from the bike and has serious head trauma. He was airlifted to San Juan Regional Hospital in New Mexico, and luckily this hospital houses 3 of the 5 neurosurgeons in NM. They've been working around the clock to try and stop his brain from swelling and keeping his vitals in check. They tell me that if the swelling would go down, he'd have a chance of coming out of the coma. Unfortunately, it seems to be getting worse, and the pressure is causing more tissue damage. Even if he pulls through, he won't be the same Mark we all know. So, it's not looking very good at this point, and the doctors think we need to look at taking him off life support today or tomorrow. I should know more after this morning, once I meet with the doctors again.I know some of you have been trying to call, and I'm so sorry I haven't called back. It's been a tough few days, and I'm just trying to wrap my mind around the whole thing. I have Vaughn and my dad with me, and that is helping a lot. I'd really appreciate it if you could pass the news on to whoever you think would like to know. I love you all. Erin
