What a horrible week!

Wow what a week! I don't even know where to start. Last Friday we got the news that Kurt's marrow was clean, but he still had this high fever. They decided to check his blood and see if there were any infections, but couldn't find any. He still had the fever on Saturday and just slept all day and didn't eat or talk, and then again on Sunday, but they found a stomach infection and started a different anti-biotic. Then he still had the fever on Monday Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. They did a CT scan and a MRI on Monday, then on Tuesday they did a Lombard puncture. On Wednesday, they let him rest, but then he got the fever really bad and it went to 105 the last night and Wednesday. They ran another test to check his oxygen level and if it had gone higher they would of put him in the ICU. So I had a hard time leaving him, but they said they would call me if he changed. On Thursday, they were going to do another test and sedate him and go down through his esophagus and check his heart valves to see if there was any infections. Then when I got here, they took him to do another ultrasound of his stomach, and then another chest x-ray. I think they have looked at every part inside his body. Today they still don't know why he has the high fever, but they did give him a shot that is suppose to help his white blood cells start working, so they can see if that will take care of the fevers. From all of the tests they did today, they still don't know what it is. It is very confusing, and Kurt is getting frustrated. Hopefully something will start to work and he can feel better again.
Thanks to everyone for your prayers and concern. We feel the prayers on our behalf, and know that one day this will all be over and he will be his self again.
