This is one crazy ride!

It's has been a long time since I wrote. Kurt got out of the hospital from the
e-coli infection. and his counts started to go back up. He started to get back on his feet again. We took a little getaway to Park City last weekend. He did fairly well, but got tired. It was an interesting weekend, but a too long of a story to tell. We had a good time.
I haven't mentioned that he was going to start the transplant process on July 27th, because of the last time with the other donor, I didn't want to jinx it, but it has been jinxed. Yesterday we went to meet with the doctors and sign the papers, everything sounded great and looked good with Kurt and the donor. So it was a good day. They did tell us that Kurt's liver counts were elevated and they wanted to take some blood and do another check. We went home and felt pretty good about everything. Then today the hospital called and told Kurt to come up if he could, because his liver counts were higher, so they wanted us to talk to a GI doctor. He told us that it could be the medications, so they took more blood again today. He called back this afternoon, and told us they had gone down a tiny bit. So we will go in Saturday and have blood drawn again and wait for the counts to come back, and then they will decide if we start the process this week of postpone for a couple of weeks. This is extremely messing with our minds. We are going to have a family fast this Sunday, so hopefully evetything will go as scheduled and Kurt will be able to start the transplant. I will let you know when we find out a decision. Thanks again for your concern and friendship.
