Birthday Blues

Well, Karl spent his birthday and party on Sat in the hospital. We all went over to deliver his Portillo's italian beef sandwich and Rosati's Chicago pizza. He was in high spirits even though he couldn't be home. No news on him coming home anytime soon, he can only move his fingers and toes on his left side- he's not able to move his arm or leg. The shingles are still bad and painful but his overall pain has become manageable. I am starting to look at clinical trials and a call is going into MD Anderson. Thanks to everyone who sent him birthday wishes and gifts! Pam, he got your Frangos and we a sneaking them to him as he's on a low sugar diet due to the steriods causing his blood sugar to go through the roof! he doesn't trust them in the house alone with Anika and I.
