Besides Karl, money from the tournament went to the Gift of Life in memory of Bill and Sue Mukensturm who were siblings and who both died from complications of hepatitis C. Bill and his wife, Karin, owned Wrong Way Pub (now Muk's Sports Pub) together with Carey Wyler (who came from Florida again for the tournament).
Now for news on Karl:
Karl still has a rash, but the doctors think he's allergic to penicillin-based antibiotics so they've stopped those and begun others. At least this time he's not in pain like the last time. I was surprised when I arrived yesterday to find Karl with quite a bit of hair growth. I'll get a photo soon (he has more hats). Other than the red rash, he looks pretty good. They took out some of the stitches on his back today and will remove the rest next week. When that happens, they'll put him in a regular bed and then they'll work on having him sit on the edge of his bed. He's also been cleared to start drinking clear liquids. A CT scan showed that the blockage in his small intestine has been cleared. But it will take some time to get his tummy used to food again so he's going very slowly, starting with Hawaiian Punch on ice. Mmmm-mmmm.
Anyway, rather than bore you with more words, here are a bunch of photos from Saturday's event.
God bless,
Kerry
