Exclamation Mark is going in for emergency surgery
I can not believe this is happening to Mark!!

He sent me an alarming text earlier today. It is very sketchy since he is unable to type very well.

He has emergency surgery at 6:30 am (MST) Friday morning, which is in about 8 hrs from now. C-7 disc is blown, he has lost all feeling except for the pain in right arm. Lost feeling in left arm, tongue, and roof of mouth numb.
This will be 1 of 3 surgeries to try to regain control over situation.
He asks for prayer and says that he is praying for everyone.

This is all I know. I hope to get more details soon.
I can't imagine what he and his family must be going through right now.
I dont' know 'what' has caused this to spiral out of control like this.

Thank you for your prayers
Rae
