Hello guys. This is Mark's wife (Mrs. MF22). He asked me to post this and let you all know that he has been in the hospital since Sat after suffering a bursted aneurysm in his head. He has been in ICU until a couple of hours ago. He has improved and is now in a regular room in the stroke rehab wing of the hospital. Looks like he will be fine, will take a little time. This happened because he was working outside in the heat and got too hot. Y'all please take the heat advisories seriously. I'll try to keep you all posted when I can. Thanks.

Sorry to hear this. That sounds very serious. I hope he is ok and recovers 100% Thanks for posting this and keep us updated please!!

Very sad news but very glad to hear hes doing better.Im sure everyone on here will keep him in our prayers.

Wow so sorry to hear.tell him hes in on prayers.....

good to hear he is recovering and god bless

hope he makes a fast recovery guys stay cool if u can drink plenty water

Hope he makes a speedy recovery. Glad he is improving. I'll say an extra prayer for him tonight.

Glad to hear hes getting better. Not much I can say that hasn't already been said. Hope to see him back real soon.

very sorry 2 hear this news, just glad 2 hear he got to the hospital soon enough to get the help he needed. hope he recovers quickly.

i hope he gets better soon. i will make sure to pray for him.

Man, that sucks BAD, I have been in Const work my whole life and have seen the destruction of the heat first hand, but this is as bad as it gets, he is a very lucky person to still be alive. The Angels definately need Mark on this earth for something, so whatever it is it must be pretty big!!!! We have Mark and you in our prayers and hope everything comes out right so Mark can serve his purpose in life!!! God Bless you (Marks wife), for your needing our prayers also to get you by the days of his recovery. I know that the person witnessing the actions are usually the ones left with the most Trauma, So be brave and God will see to it that Mark recovers 100%!!!

damn, that sucks, glad he is getting back in good shape, that summer sun this year has been a beast.

He's in my prayers, I hope he gets better soon and I'm sorry this happened. I've experienced it with my dad, although it wasn't a bad stroke they called it a "mild stroke" but it did leave a permanent spot in his brain, nothin serious like Mark's so again, I'm sorry, I'm just glad to hear he's making a full recovery and can't wait to see him back in the sim racing world. Jason is right, god must have other plans for him cause that heat is terrible, everyone stay hydrated

yeah that like is always bad to hear...kinda got choked up reading the comments & never know the right words to say,think jason & the rest said it best that he is in our prayers & that GOD must have a purpose for not taking him that day....outdoor constuction is a beast & i did it also for 8 yrs like jason also mentioned...glad he was around people to get him the help & he will definately recover from it,....stay strong for him that will help him alot!!! squirrel

Thank you everyone (this is Mrs. MF22 again). I took my laptop to the hosp and read all your posts to him - lifted his spirits so much. He is doing better, but we are not out of the woods yet. Looks like a little long-term (permanent?) damage to his eyesight...double vision...but all is looking better each day. He is fully functional and mostly coherent. He was actually out in our little above-ground pool, cleaning it, when he overheated and the blood vessel bursted. Maybe get to bring him home later in the week if he keep improving. Any of you who would like to keep up on his progress, can "friend" me on Facebook....Janet Halbert Freeman....I am posting updates daily and sharing all the posts and well-wishes with him. God Bless you all, and thank you again for the prayers and concern.

I'm a new member, but I wish him nothing but the best in recovery. God bless!

Please Mrs.Mf22 keeps us informed on here as well.... My heart and prayers goes out to your family..

Great to hear hes getting better. Hope the long term damage doesn't turn permanent.

Hey guys, this is MF22 (via Mrs. MF22 typing for me)... just want to say thank you for all the prayers and well-wishes. This was the most miserable thing I have ever been thru. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Fortunately, with the great care of good doctors and nurses, I am feeling much better. Maybe get to go home tomorrow. Looking forward to getting home. Thanks again, guy.
