Still Here, but hopefully not for long!

It's been a little up and down this past week. Kurt has been through a lot. Last week he started to get sores in his mouth from the radiation, and they got pretty bad. He was put on pain medication and along with all of the other meds, his counts being nothing, and the transplant, he was really out of it, in pain, and a little loopy, he was also given food supplement through his IV. He doesn't remember and he doesn't believe us. But then he became a little clearer, and started doing better, but got pnemonia, a gut infection, and an infection in his line. This week his counts started to come back up, and they actually told us that the new bone marrow was producing new cells. They said that is pretty early to start, espcially with a unrelated marrow and not just the blood cells. It usually takes about 14-21 days to see that, but his started in about 9-10 days. They say he is doing really well. They even said that he may get to come home Friday this week, or next Monday or Tuesday. We can't believe it,last night he had another bad night, because the gut infection makes him go to the bathroom a lot, and he was just getting very discouraged from being sick, so I came up all day to help him today he slept most of the morning. He woke up around 2:00, showered, ate lunch, and wanted to go for a walk, I think he's bound and determined to get out of here. It would be nice to have him come home, but I was not expecting this. So today, Kelli, Cher, Ryan, my sister Kristy, and my mom came and cleaned the whole house, so now I think it's ready for him to come home.
I know that this has been a small miracle and that Heavenly Father has been with us all the way, and has blessed us so many ways and so many times. I'm so grateful for Preisthood blessings, and wonderful doctors and nurses, they have taken such good care of him. I just want to thank everyone at this time for everything. We could not have done it without your concern, help and prayers. Thank you so much!
Kurt and Cindee
