That's great news... glad everything is ok... you can always count on our prayers...

Thats great news. We'll keep him in our prayers.

Sounds like good news. I hope the recovery goes well.

Awesome news! Keep the faith!

Thank you Lord for bringing one of ours thru another day that had a positive outcome.
Sleep tight Hunter, you too Karl and try not to worry. Hunter is in Gods hands (as always) the best place to be......

Sorry I read this late, but it's not too late to for me to say a prayer of thanks.

Glad everything worked out.

Hey Karl,

Somehow I missed this post, so I'm a little late...
Very glad to read that surgery went ok though!
Our thoughts are with Hunter, you and your family and we hope for a good and speedy recovery

cheers,

Jeroen, Christy and Zoey

Karl,

Sorry I missed the thread.
I'm glad the surgery was a success.
I will keep you and Hunter in my prayers.

May God continue to bless you and your family.

Steve, Stella and family

Hi Karl,
I've also been away from the BBS for a couple of days and am just reading the thread for the first time now. Glad to see the outpouring of prayers and support from the group. You and your son and family will be in our (Mr. & Mrs. Roadlover) prayers. Glad the surgery went well.

Cool! Glad everything went smooth...

I hear ya (about the "support" groups). Every time I go in for a visit, they (DR's) push that shit on me. Its a bit depressing for me to see where I will end up (hopefully later than sooner). I'd much rather "talk" to you knuckleheads for support .

Hang in there, Karl. Life on Earth is only the beginning. You da man

No better way to say it Dave. You got a good outlook. I know it's hard sometimes to keep your head up so "you go man" Hold your head high when you can & when it gets hard just get a little help from yer friends (& the herb)
My late wife had a similar outlook... when she woke up from having her first foot amputation the first thing she said was "Life is sweet" and smiled........

How's our little man doing today Karl? We're all thinking about him.

Chris

Hunter came home today. He is still very uncomfortable so he's taking some Tylenol with Codeine.

We have to judge his pain level from his Pulse Oximeter (pulse, heart rate, and oxygen saturation levels), since he can't really tell us it hurts.

We're all really tired. Mom spent the night up with him at the hospital. I got to sleep last night (but I didn't sleep the night before).

Hunter does have day and night nurses for about 16 hours a day, so we can catch up on sleep over the next few days.

Attached is a picture of him in his spika cast. his legs are connected with a dowel rod that can be removed. When we move him, we have to keep his legs together with... you guessed it... a bungy cord.

Thanks for everyone's concern.

Regards,

Karl

Sorry I missed this thread earlier Karl. Glad everything went well for Hunter. Sounds like a great family. MY thoughts & prayers are with you. May Hunters recovery be fast & without complication

Karl, what a little trooper Hunter is! I hope your family has a nice 4th, and Hunter's recovery is swift. I'll be thinking about your family this weekend.
