Is today a big day?

When I visited mark yesterday he said he was very worried about today as this is the day when the results come back for some of the major tests that they have been doing over the last number of days and weeks.
There are a number of possible outcomes:
  1. They do not find the cause of the problem but believe that it has 'worked itself out' and so Mark is allowed to go home and start recovery there.
  2. The tests reveal nothing but the doctors do not feel that mark is well enough to go home so will stay in hospital for observation and more tests.
  3. The tests might reveal the cause which can be dealt with quite fast and then mark can go home.
  4. They find the cause and it is serious enough for the treatment to be administered in hospital which might take some time.

I think that these are the major possibilities. Numbers 1 & 3 are the best options which will mean mark is moving towards being a happy(ier) bunny. Numbers 2 & 4 are the possibilities that will demoralise mark tremendously and which will result in us needing to encourage him all the more.

there is a fifth option. it might be that the test results are not ready by today or that the doctors are not in a position to give back the results today. this will be a very frustrating outcome for Mark as he has been building up to this day for some time. i'll post the outcome as soon as i get it. lets hope and pray.
