Tuesday afternoon
Dear friends
Your comments give us support as we try to understand what is happening. We have had several test that have shown that at this time the Echo Cardiogram does not indicate any myocardial damage as in heart attack. A pulmonary embolus and pneumonia still need to be ruled out.Marvin says that he is finally feeling a little better with less fatigue and less nausea though he is still weak. We have more tests scheduled for tomorrow and I will give you the news when I can. The mood here is better now that we have some good news. We have been taken off the isolation for bacterial infection! We hope we can avoid ICU also.
It is so amazing how you have responded to our calls for prayer and the wonderful cards. When you are far from home it means so much. We will be here now until this crisis passes and then we will probably go to Augusta to the VA spinal cord unit. This is reported to be a good care unit. We know that Shepherds is great and one of two such units in the US. Here the care is excellent and the nurses are like friends.
We miss you and we miss the Harbor View family and the beautiful music of the choir.

Marvin & Cathie-
Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
Michael & Kristin
have left several comments-but obviously they were not acceptable for some reason ! God bless ! Margaret
I am still praying daily for you as well as telling others of your need for prayer. By now, most of Charleston is praying for you. Keep up the determination and positive attitude.
Love,
Deborah

Hey Cathie and Marvin!
Just readomg Deborah's comments brings a smile (and tears) to my eyes. What a testimonial to the two of you that "By now, most of Charleston is praying for you." I am proud to know many of them are wearing hats.
I am trying to find some personal contacts in Augusta for you. The amazing Harriette's, Terry's, Barbara, and Hat Ladies found in Atlanta aren't quite there...yet. But I have some new ideas in my fuzzy head that I will share with you once you make the move.
For now, just keep your spirits high and your progress steady. Charlston may not have professional teams to cheer...but we have The Murdaugh Team...and you are the champions!!!!!!!!
With continued love and prayers,
Archie
