Carl tells INSIDE EDITION that his mom has recovered from the surgery and left the hospital.
“We've had a bit of a setback as her kidney has unfortunately adopted the disease,” Carl tells IE, “But we know what we're dealing with this time, as opposed to 10 years ago, and we're confident that she is going to continue living a long life.”
“She feels much better thanks to the new kidney, and no longer has to take dialysis, which is amazing!! It's a day to day process.”
