New Up-date

On Sunday, I went up to see Kurt and he wanted to shower, he stood in the shower for the first time in about two weeks. Then he walked around a couple of times around the halls, which he could not do last week, so we are happy that the blood has given him new energy. He has a heart monitor on all the time, and they really can't find anything wrong, which is good. On Monday morning they did stress test, and they still can't find anything wrong. They are thinking that his passing out was because his red blood counts were low and something still with the fluids in his body and that they are not keeping level. I got up there around 3:00 on Monday, and they were getting him ready to go home. We had to go up to the 7th floor to get a home heart monitor put on. They want him to wear one for a couple of weeks just to check his heart and make sure there is nothing wrong. We got home and he could actually walk up the stairs and into the house without passing out. It was good to see him walk again, and he said it felt really good to be able to do it.
We have to go back to check his counts on Thursday, his platelets still keep going down, hopefully we will be able to find out some answers on that soon. But from last week to this week, he is doing so much better.
Thanks again for family, friends, neighbors and all of the people that we both work with. It is so good to know that there is a lot of people that care about us.
We will keep you posted.
