Hallelujah!!!!!!

Sam just called: Mark checked himself into rehab, today. The counselor that they've been seeing got him a full scholarship. Otherwise, it would have been $36,000, for the 28-day program.

I hope this takes. Mark is smart, handsome and has a lot going for him. Sam and those babies need him, too.

We're going to find out about visiting policies, since he's here, in Tucson. His birthday is this month. Maybe, I can take him a cake.

Cindy, that is GREAT!!! I hope it works for him!!!

HOORAY!!!!! I don't know what got through to him, but I'm glad something did. Sam and those babies need him, and I'm so happy he has a chance to be there with them in the future!!

Gosh Cindy, you must be so relieved! I am going to say a prayer that Mark hangs in there, for himself, for Sam and especially....for his babies!

It takes a strong man to admit he needs help. The fact that Mark did this on his own free will speaks volumes....

Way to go Mark!!!

I agree - WAY TO GO Mark!!!!

I'm SO glad to hear this Cindy!!! You must be pleased as punch. Those great genes he got from you are pulling for him!!!!

:tounge2: :tounge2: :tounge2: :tounge2: :tounge2:

What great news!! That's really terrific! :tounge2:

Great news! Keeping your son and your family in my thoughts, and I hope he beats it this time!

What fantastic news! I am sure this takes some of the burden off Sam's shoulders - and reduces her stress. I hope that he works hard in rehab and becomes a loving and devoted father to his precious gift!

i just saw this! I am soooo glad for you all, this is wonderful news!

im proud of him for doing this (even though I dont know him)

Thanks, all. I'm going to call and find out if and when I can visit him. I have to call my parents and let them know, too. It'll be a load off of Mom, I know.

That must really have brightened your day! (I can just see the cats staring at you while you do the "dance of joy".) Hope all goes well.

Hurray! And he did it himself, that is a good sign.

Cindy,

I am so glad to hear this, it has truly made my day I will continue to send positive energy your way that things will continue down this new course. I don't post much anymore, don't have the time with my new job, but I do check in and read the posts to keep up with how everyone is doing. I have had you all in my thoughts since you posted about Mark; this is just wonderful news.

Cindy, I just now saw this!!!! This is WONDERFUL news!!!! I am so glad he is in rehab now!!!! Please keep us posted on how he is doing and I will send up prayers for him! This is such great news!!!!
