Karl had a great day. His feeding tube is gone. The doctors are still worried about possible infections and so they have isolated his room...we have to wear gowns and gloves when we're around Karl. The thought of debridement and irrigation again makes Karl shudder, but they think the antibiotics he's on are doing the trick because he is feeling pretty good. His plumbing issues have cleared up and he ate well today, although he is still being supplemented intraveneously. That should end in a day or two and then he'll be on his own. The plastic surgeon is happy with the way Karl's wounds are healing. We are hoping to have more of the same progress tomorrow along with a little physical or occupational therapy.
Karl has recorded a message for you. I hope you can view it!
We are blessed thanks to you and the good Lord above!

I just got home from working nights and I couldn't wait to get on the computer to check the blog for an update. I was so thrilled, Karl's voice was like hearing music. I'm so glad to hear that he's doing better.
Karl, you are loved so very much.
Always in my prayers.
