Just wanted to drop a note about Karl, I went to visit yesterday and he was able to sit up, talk, eat and the surgery went well however he still has a few issues to deal with. His white cell count is down and his sugar is up and to top it off the brace that cost $1200 bucks he needs to wear for the next month does not fit. He is in good spirits and is quite amused with his happy button. Please keep him in your prayers as he still has an uphill battle.
