A little improvement

Today Kurt called me and said they had put a pic line in his arm and they were going to take the central line out of his chest, they're hoping this will get rid of the fevers all together, especially if this line was infected. He had some fevers still last night, but they are not as high as they were last week. They also think that when he gets his counts up higher they will keep coming down. He is eating better too, today they will take him off of the TPN food supplement through the IV. They told us that after his nutrifil came up around 500, they would talk about going home. Yesterday they told us it was around 300 and then today it went to 900. I was told by one person if he wasn't having these fevers they would probably let him go home. This afternoon the doctor came in and told us that if these fevers keep going down and go away that maybe he could come home next Monday or even sooner. It was the best news we have heard for a long time. So keep praying that the fevers go away and he will be able to come home soon! Because of the two procedures he had done today, he is warn out. Yesterday I got him to go for a walk, but today he is really tired, and just resting. Hopefully tomorrow he will feel like doing some exercise, and that will help him to build up his strength. The doctor also told us that he should start feeling better each day, and his counts should keep going up. He said that he would probably let him be home for a couple of weeks and then come back for the consolidation chemo, which would just kill any cancer that they didn't see. They are still looking for a donor, and then they will do the transplant as soon as they find one. It will be great to have him come home, and not have to be in that room anymore.
We have so many great nurses and doctors, and want to thank them for the great care they have given Kurt and will continue to give. We are so grateful for their knowledge and their desire to help people in this situation. We could really tell that they put their whole heart and minds into taking care of these cancer patients. I wish I could do something back for them, but maybe by getting Kurt better, this will let them know how much we appreciate them.
