Hello all,
Mr. Schiffman was back at the studio for the first time today. HOORAY!!!
We also got the first bill. Almost $900 for the ambulance. YIKES!!! If you can help out by donating to Mr. Schiffman's medical fund, that would be great. If not I more than understand! It is just past the holidays and times are tight. If you get a chance, please spread the word that folks can drop Mr. Schiffman an e-mail at mrschiffman@americankaratesystem.com.
Thanks again and happy holidays!

Update on Mark. He was discharged from the hospital tonight and is going to our Dad's house. He is very exhausted so I am asking that everyone hold phone calls to him until tomorrow. I don't know if I am going up Wed or not, but I will show him this blog when I see him. Right after I hug and kiss him and slobber all over him that I am glad he is alive!

Update on my brother Mr. Schiffman. Mark seems to be in good spirits today. The doctors are going to put in a second stent. I am trying to get up there from North Carolina probably up I-95. Can someone tell me what the roads are like and if there is more winter weather expected up that way?

Hooray! Mark has been moved to a regular room with a working phone! E-mail me for the number at jschifty@aol.com.

Hi Folks,
I just talked to the nurses on the Critical Care unit. Mark is doing better and may be moved to another room today. While he has a phone in his room, he cannot accept calls on it...only call out. Mark has his cell phone with him, but no charger so I don't know how long that will last.
Thanks to all who have donated, called, e-mailed, Facebooked, etc!

Hello all,
Like I said I am trying to raise funds to help Mark out with his medical bills. I guess the best way is through PayPal and I am still muddling through this. I spoke to Mark briefly and he is very tired, as is expected. I will try and keep you up dated on his condition. Unfortunately there is about 400 miles and a blizzard between me and my brother.
