They have set up a care page for Marc, you have to register to look at it though but its a relatively simple and quick process.

This is the updates listed so far....

"Day of surgery - 4/22/09
Posted 1 hour ago
We arrived to WakeMed Cary @ 7:10 am for surgery that was scheduled for 9:15 am. Pre-op started around 8:20 then off to the OR @ 9:20. Now starts the long wait while he is in surgery. We received a page from surgery @ 12:30 letting us know that so far surgery was going well & that the surgical staff had just finished working on one side of his face and would be starting on the other side. From this time, it would still be another 2-3 hours of surgery. Finally, at about 4:30 the surgeon came to talk with us. He said that everything went well & that Marc was, at that point, in recovery. They did put 4 metal plates in the right side of his face(1 plate under eye, 1 plate beside nose, & 2 plates in jaw - it was actually shattered), re-stitch his top lip (it came open again during surgery), pulled 2 more teeth that were heavily damaged, & he has a stint over his nose with packing in both sides of his nose. After a long day especially for Marc, we were able to get into his room at approx. 6:45 pm. The remainder of the evening was to settle in, get him comfortable, & try to get some rest. More updates tomorrow.

We have so many people to thank. First of all, GOD for the blessing of Marc. We are very fortunate that Marc is still with us & very blessed that his injuries were not any worse than they are. It is obvious to me that Marc has a large extended family who really do think a lot of him. For this, we cannot express enough gratitude for all the prayers, phone calls, & well wishes. Thanks to all for everything. We love you."

Good Afternoon to All,

Marc did get some rest last night. This morning he was able to tolerate some clear liquids without nausea/vomiting. They came & took him for a CAT scan this am just to make sure everything from surgery is in good position. No word yet on those results. Surgeon is supposed to come by later today to check on how he is doing. Marc did get up to the bathroom this morning then sat up in the recliner for a little while to eat some lunch. Thanks again for all the prayers, phone calls, & support. Will post another update this evening."
