Well now the fun begins!

Kurt has been home for two weeks, after getting home from the hospital on Monday May 18, that afternoon, he started with a scratchy troat and cough. He thought it was maybe allergies, but it was a cold. He had to go to the hospital on Wednesday and Friday that week, so they were keeping a check on him, they gave him a x-ray on his chest but it was clear. He just got rest and it took about a week to feel better, then just when he was getting better, I got the same thing, so we were trying to not get too close to not get him sick again. It has been a horrible week, because I thought I would get better in a few days, but I got worse, I went to the dr on Saturday the 30th, and had a sinus infection, got a anti-biotic and I think today I feel a little better. But the whole week when I'm around him I have been wearing a mask, washing my hands every 5 mins, cleaning off everything I touch and he has to get everything for himself. It's been frustrating, knowing that he will be going into the hospital soon and both being sick is not fun!
We were told that they had chosen a donor a couple of weeks ago. He was a 21 yr old male, and he was a great match. Then the next week they told us that the kid could not do it all summer. The next week we were told that there was another match that was around 40 and a good match but not as good as the first one, but they have heard back from him and he can do it on June 27th. So now Kurt and the donor have to do some tests and make sure everything checks out for the process to happen. Kurt got a call from the hospital today, they are starting Wednesday the 3rd with the preliminary tests for Kurt. They have to check out his heart, his lungs, his kidneys, and liver. Also they decided since he did so well with the chemo, they are going to give him the strongest form of radiation and chemo right before the transplant. So they have to give him shots and a radiation trial run before they start the real thing. Then they are going to admit him June 18th to start the chemo and then the transplant around the 30th. He's so excited today, not!!!
We are going to try to enjoy his time at home right now in between all the doctors and tests and hopefully do some fun things before all of this starts. I have read a little and I know we have a few months ahead of us that will be very difficult, and we are not looking forward to it at all.
Wow how your life can change and turn around so quickly, but we have received many blessings the last couple of months. We have had some great times together, it's funny how things like this really make you realize what your priorities are in life and how things we use to worry about don't seem to matter at all right now. Thank you again for your help and support. We know that we have a great family and so many good friends. Keep Kurt in your prayers, I think he will need them now more than ever. Thank you again.
