Back in again.(yuck!!!)

Well after over 3 weeks at home, Kurt had to go back today to do another round of consolidation chemo. His counts came back and it is time they said to do another round. We did find out more info regarding the donor for the transplant. They have requested four samples, and they do a 10 point check on the chromosones, hence the test on Kurt's chromosones earlier, and they found his to be unfavorable, so that is why he needs the transplant. They have a couple of people with 10 out of 10, but one person won't be available for awhile, the third was 9 out of 10, and the last one they are almost done with testing. They think the last one will also be a 10 out of 10, so now they will look at those 2 10 out of 10's and decide which one is the best. They said that this round of chemo will take about a month to go through the cycle, and the transplant if everything goes well will happen around the end of June. He will be in the hospital for about 4-6 weeks and then hopefully if all goes well, he will go home after, and then have to be watched carefully for a few months. We both enjoyed him being home, his counts were so good, that yesterday we went to a movie in the afternoon, when there wasn't very many people there. It was fun to go on a date again.
So keep him in your prayers again, that this chemo round will go smooth and he will get to come home again in 6 days. Thanks again for your support and concern, we have many good friends and family!
