Nora Kasten Artist Acrylic Painting "Apples & Oranges" / Karl Update


"Apples & Oranges"

Acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas  (30" x 36" x 1.5")  From the archives

"First, we went to the doctor's office today and then Karl to the hospital as an out-patient.  There was 1.8 liters of fluids removed and the doctor honored Karl's wish not to be admitted to the hospital. Tomorrow he will take a one time a week super dose of a different diuretic med along with extra potassium in hopes of gaining more time and relief.  If it works he'll do the same thing next Tuesday, the 17th.  Thankfully, Karl is not in pain but he's very weak and and his breathing is labored.  There really is power, living in this present moment and peace continues to abide within."

I'm thankful the doctors allowed Karl to stay home. I know its what you both want. He's very lucky to have you, Nora. You're a picture of love and strength. May God's peace continue to be with you both.
