Day + 40 (February 1, 2011)

Hi everyone, day 40 is upon us and and still we sitin the hospital. Word around the campfire is that we may get to head home around Friday sometime. That would be a Friday from heaven so we'll just have to wait and see.

As far as tests go, we're pretty much through them all. I had my broncial test a few weeks ago which which was not fun. There were indications that there was fluid and blood forming around my lung and heart that they wanted to test. So far, nothing has grown yet so they are thinking it may be a fungal infection. I am on Ambizone and have been for quite some time to help with the infection so we are just waiting to see if I get worse. I have had many CT scans, chest x rays, sonograms, chardiograms, EKG's, etc to make sure they doctors are not missing anything. Once we get the results from all these tests, I am hoping to get cleared to go home.

That's it for now. I just hope I get home in time for Superbowl Sunday where I can watch the game from our living room...

What is Kurt's diagnosis?

AML is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes abnormal myeloblasts (a type of white blood cell), red blood cells, or platelets.

Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. This type of cancer usually gets worse quickly if it is not treated. It is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults. AML is also called acute myelogenous leukemia, acute myeloblastic leukemia, acute granulocytic leukemia, and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.
