Kurt is still doing well at home!

This week is when the last chemo treatment starts to do it's magic, kills all cells good and hopefully bad. They gave us the choice to stay at home and come in every other day or daily if needed, or be admitted to the hospital. We are trying the home choice, since Kurt thinks he overstayed his welcome the first hospital stay. We came last Thursday for a shot, Saturday for some platelets and that stay was only for a couple of hours, then on Monday we came in at 8:30 and he needed platelets, and two units of blood. The poor guy was there until 4:30, but got to go home, so one day is better than staying in the hospital. After staying all day they tested his counts again, and his platelets did not go up very high, so they wanted us to come back today. When we got here, he needed platelets, but they didn't have them ready, they had to order them from the Red Cross, so we got here at 8:15, and didn't leave until 12:00, still better than staying in the hospital. We will probably have to come back a few more times. They said his good cells should start producing around this Sunday. Then we will wait another week or so, and maybe the donor will have given the marrow, or he will have to have another round of the consolidation chemo. I will keep you posted.
Thanks again to everyone for your concern and prayers. We know that he has been very blessed and will continue to be blessed.
