Fall Break Day 3
10 years ago
On Aug. 6, 2009 Clark underwent a liver transplant. He then faced a Bone Marrow Transplant but because of insuficient funding, and three denials from Medicaid, Clark lost his fight. He returned to his Heavenly Father(s) on June 11, 2010. We have documented his journey and continue to post updates. Thank you to everyone for your never ceasing prayers and support. If his story brings inspiration, strength, light, and knowlege into your life, then this travesty will not be in vain.

Yes, it is about time. Lots to catch up on Clark. Enjoy the journey. Its great to have you finally posting. Look forward to seeing you and keep going, you have made huge strides in your progress to full recovery. Love ya Bart
Clark it is SOOO wonderful to see your efforts in contributing to your blog. We know how much you've been through physically, but we don't know how much emotionally and mentally. Your struggles have been ours, as much as we could carry. The rest was yours. Only YOU could do the majority of the journey alone. I, like many other family and friends, are giving thanks and we continue praying for the Lord's hand to be with you constantly. As you go through your blog, and shed many tears as we already have, I want you to appreciate your life and live each day as if it was your last. Do and be YOUR best, have no regrets at the end of your day. Clark, I'm so happy to have been a part of this blog, to have given you my heart, mind, and tears. When you were in a coma the entire day before your new liver was located, I ached from head to toe, only my tears speaking the words I couldn't say. I pled for your life to the Lord. I lay awake MANY nights, then and still, asking for the Lord to remember you and your desires to live a life not only as a son, but husband and father. Live today as to earn those positions perfectly. Continue to record your thoughts in this blog Clark. You don't need to write to anyone in particular, write to yourself, and write your history. Your posterity will see your strength in your words. This Thanksgiving I will celebrate your life. I Love You Clark. Your Mother
PS Remember also, the words in your blessing before going into the hospital, "Clark, you will suffer much, but nothing compared to what our Savior suffered".
Clark I am glad to see you are feeling enough better to be out of the hospital and getting stronger everyday. Sounds like you are getting wonderful care and support in the Purles home, many blessings to them for their open arms and care. Also glad to see you making contributions to the blog and will be looking forward to future additions from you. I have been thankful for Kristin's and Rhonda's posts, and how they kept us up to date through it all, now it is Clark's turn to tell the rest of the story.
Prayers from our household will continue for your recovery, and daily gaining of strength.
