Friday, October 9 PM post

Big Bear is home. We (Karl, Alan, mom and myself) are watching the Yankees vs. Twins game. Does anyone else hate the Yankees? Yup, I've now lived in Boston too long.

Karl just requested that I post on the blog that he would love to have visitors on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. If you would like to see Karl please call the house phone at 847-746-1749 before you come. Big Bear likes his sleep. Oh, and no autographs please.

If anyone has a wheelchair, we could really use one. Here's the catch, its need to be a LARGE wheelchair. Old Big Bear, is well, kind of big.

I apologize if I haven't responded to everyone's email. I hope to soon. A huge thanks to everyone that has offered their help over this past week.

  2. Thank you so much for keeping all of us updated. I used to babysit for all of your siblings(sorry Keith, you were born after I went to college) your dad was my teacher in high school and now Alan is my daughter's teacher....so lots of history there. I am praying for you and your family every day. Funny that you call him Big Bear, he was the cuddliest little kid ever, I'm sure he will like to hear that, probably doesn't even remember me.
