DAY 41

Karson has an infection so he is on 3 antibiotics to help him get over it. There is a number of things that could have caused the infection. We are waiting to get the culture back to see which antibiotics will help. He had a transfer date but since this happened he will be at this place for at least another 15 days. We are hoping he gets his trach out and starts following commands so he can stay in Utah county. If he doesn't then there are only two places that will take him. One is in Salt Lake and the other is in Ogden.

If you have been by to see him lately you probably have noticed a change. We noticed on Monday night that he was acting like he was in pain. He would open his mouth like he was screaming and nothing came out. He seems like he is a little more peaceful today. Thank you everyone for all the love. You have brought such light to a hard situation.

  6. Hello Karson, you are succeeding, keep up the good effort, you have made a lot of improvement in the last 40 days. Just imagine the phyisical improvement you will have by the end of May. Remember..................
    ...... I / We Believe in your Full Physical Recovery and so do You :]
    It is just like eatting a chocholate elephant, you do it bite by bite, and for you it is good health effort, day by day. Lots of sports going on now, the NBA and Hockey`s Stanley Cup, have not been following much of it, maybe later when they are into the final games. Spoke with Larry Linde the other day, he said you had some snow out there, not enough to stop the true golfers though. Just keep thinking all those good thoughts, like good health, spending time doing games and puzzles with family, swimming in your parents pool, and hanging with Jordan and your friends. Talk with you soon, Bruce
