Karl, my friend since i was 3 is having open heart surgery on wednesday. He was born with a heart condition and had open heart surgery once already when he was little. I know hes terrified of the whole situation because, well it is an extremely risky operation. I'm planning on going up to see him a couple days after the surgery (as soon as im allowed to visit)... and i was hoping that you all could keep him in ur thoughts and prayers- whatever u do. I know he'd appreciate it so much, and i would too. I'll prolly print out this topic so that he can read it, and hopefully be happy to know that ppl were thinkin about him. Thanks guys...
