Little hospital stay

Sorry it's been awhile since I've written. Kurt came home from the 3rd round of consolidation chemo on June 22nd. That week we started going back and forth to the clinic to get his counts tested and get transfusions of blood and platelets. During this time we try to be very careful as to not let him get around people and get sick. But try as hard as we may, his temperature started going up on Friday the 3rd, and by that night it had gone higher, so I decided to call against Kurt's pleas not to. They said we better come in and have it checked. We got up there around 11:00 pm and they admitted him and started to take blood cultures. They said he would probably be there until Sunday, because it takes that long to grow the cultures. Needless to say, Kurt and I were very upset about staying. Saturday afternoon, we talked to one of the PA's and she said that they had found an infection and they wouldn't know exactly what it was for a couple of days. They told us that he would have to stay in until his counts came up and he could fight the infection better on his own. Now we were both very down, because we had no idea how long that would take. The 4th of July was not too great. Kurt was not feeling too good, and was tired that night, so I went with Kelli and her family to Riverton (and I think with everyone else in Salt Lake City) to see the fireworks. It was fun, but I felt bad that Kurt was in the hospital.
He started slowly getting better, and Wednesday, the 8th, he did get to come home. So it wasn't too bad. Now we go back on Friday to get his counts tested again, and hopefully they are starting to come back up this week and we will be able to do some fun things while he feels good, and hopefully he doesn't get sick soon again. Oh they did find out what the infection was, it was E-coli, and they told us it was good he got in there that soon, becuase with his counts being almost nothing, he would of gotten very sick, very fast. Although he still hasn't thanked me for calling and putting him in the hospital, I think he's grateful that I did, and that he got better so quickly.
Thanks again for all of your thoughts, prayers, cards, and concern.
Kurt & Cindee
