Father and Son Part II

Karston is doing much better. The antibiotics are working. The swelling in his ankle is way down and the open sore has now scabbed over. He has had no fever since Sunday and has been back to school for two days now. He will not be wearing his leg brace until we can figure out a way to prevent this from happening again. That means he will have little support for his ankle and his knee so we have to get this figured out as soon as possible. Thanks so much for all of your prayers and kind words that have helped so much.

As you may know by now we did not get the news we wanted about my dad's surgery. It was determined that the cancer is in stage 4 and has spread to the bladder and the liver. They were also unable to re-attach the colon and he now has a colostomy bag. He will be starting 6 months of chemo/radiation in just a few short weeks. This is a very difficult year for him full of many difficult adjustments. The Sumrall family is really needing your support and prayers right now. We know that God is in control and has a plan for all of us to get through this, but it helps when we know that we are not alone in the struggles and challenges that are facing us. Thank you to everyone for being such incredibly great friends and family!
