September 1, 2020 Tuesday. Group chat of friends from Deep Rock Baptist Church with C. Pat Lanyon 860-655-9000 There is a video list I have uploaded of Mark at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0EO1bX2uwlOl5HKaHCIqYhVv8TkhyXsr ====== Original Group of 5: 1 Diane Scott +1860575**** 2 Joe CZARNIEWSKI +1203627**** 3 Joyce Tucker +1203464**** 4 Kirk Hagert +1860966**** 5 Winston Scott +1860227**** ----- Tuesday, December 17, 2019 8:50 PM Kirk Hagert I believe Mark went home today Joyce Tucker Hopefully we can worship with him again this Sunday ?? THANKS -great to hear that! Thursday, December 19, 2019 4:13 PM Kirk Hagert Mark called me from home. Sounds a bit hoarse. Says he won't be at church on Sunday but maybe we can check in with him. I'm leaving for Philadelphia in the morning with Sheila for a corporate holiday party tomorrow night and we'll be back late Saturday. Will be at church on Sunday. Blessings... Friday, December 20, 2019 9:55 AM Safe trip to you. Thought of visiting your house until I read this... maybe next Thursday??? May try to see Mark today. We have another lady in Bridgeport I know originally from Riverside now at the Jewish Retirement Center on Park Ave-- which we could try to visit. Mark has done this. Blessed Christmas Sunday to you! (all!) Friday, December 20, 2019 10:59 AM Kirk Hagert Yes,and back to you, brother. We have Christmas Eve service at 5 pm ===== Tuesday, Sep 1 7:22 AM Friends, MARK ROCKEFELLER needs our prayers now. He is in room 408 of Middlesex Hospital in Middletown . and cannot get any food into his stomach. Dr. TOBIN is his admitting physician, and 3 weeks ago had him enter a clinic where they gave him ?ekg, MRI, and other tests, then recommended that he enter Chesterfield for rehab. I am trying to see if a visit is possible today. Thanks for your prayers. Winston Scott Thanks Pat Diane Scott ?? Kirk Hagert Yes, we will be praying and welcome updates. If he's able to see visitors, we'll be sure to do so. Middlesex allows visitors After 10:00 a.m. 1 by 1 and no leaving the Room and a mask is required. I will plan to get there sometime after 10 today and thank you again for praying! Joyce Tucker Lifting him right now with his brothers and sisters in the Lord ?? Winston Scott I'll be praying and try to get in to see him Tuesday, Sep 1 2:54 PM After lunch I finally got in and had a good visit. Mark even sang some songs to me and had about a 20 call with his Cousin in Tulsa on speaker phone. He looked real good color-wise. I saw no CPAP for him but forgot to inquire about it at the nurses's desk today, who was "April." When you call you might ask what hey'll do in his case-can't imagine allowing it to come from his home. They give him walks up /down the hall for PT. So I may try and visit again on Thursday. Let me know if you plan a visit that day for planning purposes. Thanks for prayers and greeting cards for him. 8-) His correct room today was 406. Wednesday 9:03 PM Winston Scott I had a good visit with Mark this afternoon. He has been undergoing lots of tests. His cancer doctor came in while I was there and walked him through what was presently going on. His esophagus is restricted because the cancer has come back. That is why he cannot keep any food down. They have a few options such as putting in a stent, or using a balloon to open it up. He has to have just pured food now and possibly a feeding tube if he wants to get aggressive about his recovery. He also has a mass on his liver as well as fluid around his left lung. Something is also going on with his right leg which is swollen . The doctor told him chemo is the best option because it goes all through the body and the cancer has spread but they have not said how far pending testing. He said he didn't mind me sharing what's going on so we know what to pray for. Thanks. Should I wait to visit him another day, or com down anyway tomorrow? Kirk Hagert Thank you, Winston. Does he have a direct land line in his room or can he be connected if called? He often will not answer his cell phone. I saw none, Pastor, but I'm sure staff would connect; after all he is walking for therapy. Kirk Hagert I want to stop in. We've been babysitting our middle daughter, Erin's 3 and 1 year old this week while I'm working from home, which has been interesting... Trying to break free during a nap Winston Scott I did not see a phone but I called him on his cell today. He doesn't have his charger though Have to put on a gown when you go in. Was told just before I left Joyce Tucker Brother Thanks so much for keeping us informed of our dear brother's condition. I so want to go visit with him but due to Robin's upcoming surgery I cannot be in a hospital environment even if the risk is minimal, which I believe it is. She has asked me to be as distant as I can until her procedure. This said, we are lifting Mark, just as we have been since his initial diagnosis, and know that his confidence in our Lord is unshakable. His is a beautiful ambassador for Christ and will, I am certain, glorify Him in his trial. "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Amen and Amen Blessings to our brother Mark in Him Kirk Hagert Well said, my friend. We shall convey your love and best wishes. Joyce Tucker Thanks for doing this brother- We do love and miss him ?? 9/1 video of Mark - https://youtu.be/IDd4bv2_eDI 2nd to view - https://youtu.be/2p1q2QHDMpE Kirk Hagert Beautiful Pat. Thanks for sharing. I sent an email to his Christian cousin in Tulsa, along with the diagnosis. Pray for their whole family. HARRY ROCKEFELLER . Thursday 12:11 PM Dr. SanVicente came by and got permission to implant a feeding tube. An endoscopy done yesterday took several biopsies and revealed no visible cancer, but there is a tumor in the esophagus obstructing the passage. He is ordering an ultrasound for the right leg where excessive fluid is still present. Mark wants to have the tube. There is also a new growth on the liver that is probably cancer moved from the esophagus, but probably inconclusive without testing. Mark did vomit once right after I got here right after he sat upright in bed to get up. I brought a cellphone charger compliments of David Lanyon, thanks! Winston Scott Thank you for the update Pat Thursday 2:41 PM Kirk Hagert I have the charger and am now heading to Middlesex Hospital Winston Scott Friday 11:36 AM Winston Scott Just got a call from Mark. He has been transferred to Hartford Hospital for a few days. He wanted his church family to know where he is. Kirk Hagert Ok, thank you. I probably won't be able to get up there til at least Monday He called just before you, Winston. I will try to visit, but I am sure he's still getting settled. I guess this is putting a hold on the stomach feeding tube? Winston Scott Or possibly for the feeding tube. He hung up before I could find out Friday 3:42 PM 9/8 discharge date. Mark says (sounds like) doing a stint down esophagus to open passage where tumor in esophagus is. If unsuccessful, surgery on it with a feeding tube. No word on liver growth treatment. His Room phone is on photo, but he is in bed with a catheter for urine tract. His cellphone is close by and belongings came up successfully. Kirk Hagert Thank you. Friday 5:31 PM Winston Scott Thank you Brother, for all you do for Mark Kirk Hagert Ditto Joyce Tucker Ditto again-thank you for your love for him and fellowship with him ?? Friday 8:00 PM He said he happened to open the Bible I got for him, and it fell on The "translated" portion of ELIJAH! Go figure ?? I said leave it to you to find that passage! He replied, but it just happened, so I said, Leave it to the Lord to do that!

Diane Scott Please give my friend a holy kiss for me! I miss you Mark! Diane ??(Heart emoticon) Sorry I already left but plan another visit after church tomorrow. Stage 4 is now confirmed, indicated by the nurse practioner. When I left they were preparing him for another scan, worried about a previous clot in his R leg.Lord we lift up Br. MARK. Kirk Hagert Yes LORD in the name of Jesus, we lift up this precious child of yours... We ask that you have mercy on him... That you heal and restore him in Jesus' name... That the enemy would have nothing to do with him. We claim him in the name of Jesus... We petition you oh God for your intervention in Mark's life... Help him, oh God to have faith and bring him healing now. Halt the progress of this tumor or tumors in Jesus'name. The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much! James 5:16 Kirk Hagert Indeed it is And indeed it does I'm on the Spirit right now on behalf of this special brother, battling in the heavenlies. It is all in God's hands now. But we all do have a say. Pray. Joyce Tucker Indeed it is all in God's hands. As we all lift our beloved brother in prayer, we do so grounded in the eternal and immutable promises of our Lord: "To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children." Our brother Mark is victorious! "For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come." While we pray fervently for healing and restoration in this moment, we do so with the deepest gratitude to God that He has the name of our beloved brother written in the Lamb's book of Life! So we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Your entire church family loves you Mark and our Lord loves you. We all want you back that we may worship together again. In the name of Jesus we pray. ?? Kirk Hagert Amen Saturday 10:10 PM Winston Scott Amen! Beautiful Joyce! I will read this to him tomorrow! Sunday 1:38 PM If anyone coming this week to visit Mark, Please check for his glasses. I have not seen them in either hospital; they may have been left at Riverview. Black Rims I believe.

Sure will be praying throughout the day for our dear brother. Winston Scott I as well . Thanks Pat Sat 10:45 AM ----- (A new thread of messages) Added Jim Anderson, WA cousin of Mark's; Harry Rockefeller, OK cousin of Mark's ===== Mark's surgery was @ 7:45 am Hartford Hospital, He's now in Bliss-E 525. He gave verbal permission for me to be added to his visitors list w/r/t patient info/hippa laws. It was to insert a stint inside the esophagus. If he can begin eating again without rejection/refusal, no feeding tube will become necessary at this time. I pray for this and Mark's acceptance. God can heal the late stage cancer with better food via juicing, etc. Dr.'s need wisdom w/r/t leg fluid build up that is still ongoing. I plan to visit him. With a discharge date 9/8 there will be little time to evaluate, so prayer is major means going forward for determinations. God bless you all for doing so. www.aprayernotebook.net/markR/hosp 2:44 PM Kirk Hagert Thanks once again, Patrick. Sure will be praying throughout the day for our dear brother. Winston Scott I as well . Thanks Pat Mark called to say he has been moved to the 9th floor of Bliss Wing today. Will visit him this afternoon to find out details, but he said his blood pressure raised and constricting of passages raised their concerns. This is all for now... NowMMS Updated 11:12 AM 9/8/2020
