Today' the Day!

Well they are letting him come home today. He has done extremely well. The bone marrow started producing new cells on about day 10- day 12. Normally it doesn't start until day 14-day 21. We are so excited that this is all behind us. Now we just have to keep checking to see if his body starts rejecting the new marrow. That can happen up to a few months. Hopefully everything is going to be okay. We have also been told that most people experience some infections or complications, requiring them to be admitted back to the hospital, even though we will not be happy about this, they can take care of him, and hopefully it won't be too long. It has been an amazing process and we have experienced so many emotions, but now we can say that a small miracle has happened, and we are so grateful to the person who donated his marrow, it is truly a sacrifice that we are so appreciative for. The doctors and nurses up at LDS hospital are so caring and knowlegable. We have made many new friends because of this trial. We are so grateful for the blessings that we have received this year. Please keep praying for Kurt, I know that this road will still be a little longer and we will just keep our faith and hope alive for a complete recovery. Thank you again for everything!
