Today Kurt felt very good. Probably the best day we have had since we have been here. He has had constant fevers for over week ranging from 99 to 104 and today he still is yet to have one which has made us happy. The nurses tell us that fevers here aren't always a bad thing but it is nice to have a day where he is free from the fever.
So it is the second day of chemo and things seem to be progressing very well. No issues have come to light and his body seems to be adjusting well. It is still way too early to tell what kind of effect the chemotherapy will have on him but so far so good!
The only negative that came out of today was seeing how well the Spanish played against Russia in the other EuroCup semi-final. If they play that well in the final on Sunday, Germany is going to have a hell of a fight on their hands. Not to worry though, we wil have the lederhosen clad army rooting them on once again so I have no doubt we'll take em down and win the cup!
That's it for today. A great day overall and happy to say we are two days into the treatment. We'll be at seven in no time. Thanks for reading and look for a fresh update tomorrow.

Sienna has a joke for you...
Why do sharks swim in salt water????
Cause pepper water burns their eyes.
Kid humor...gotta love it.
We're all thinking about you.
Going to be a beautiful weekend in San Diego! Hopefully they'll let you out of that bed for a few minutes this weekend and get some air.

I was shopping at the local supermarket where I selected:
A half-gallon of 2% milk,
A carton of eggs,
A quart of orange juice,
A head of romaine lettuce,
A 2 lb. can of coffee, and
A 1 l b. package of bacon.
As I was unloading my items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk
standing behind me watched as I placed the items in front of the
cashier.
While the cashier was ringing up the purchases, the drunk calmly
stated, 'You must be single.'
I was a bit startled by this proclamation, but I was intrigued by the
derelict's intuition, since I was indeed single. I looked at the six
items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about my
selections that could have tipped off the drunk to my marital status.
Curiosity getting the better of me, I said: 'Well, you know what, you're absolutely right. But how on earth did you know that?'
The drunk replied, 'Cause you're ugly.'
Hello you two,
It is serious times like this that you need to remain serious and say the right thing! "Germany better pull through or else I am going to be pissed!!"
:)
Love you guys, we will come up and see you soon!
Mikey!
After seeing Spain get the better of Russian yesterday I think the Germans are up for a struggle on sunday. If Ballack is on his game it's going to be tough for the spaniards and the Germans are so freakishly tall set plays are going to be key! I'm just hoping for a good game to take my mind off the fact that England failed to qualify and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by letting Craotia knock them out in the qualifying stages - never mond there's always World Cup 2010!!

Hang in there Kurt, were thinking about ya.

The Ingram Credit team is so happy to hear the treatments are going well! We continue to pray for a speedy recovery....
*** You have heard that a Dog is a Man's best friend....Well here's a way to prove it! Take your Dog to the garage and put him in the trunk of your car. Now go back and get your girlfriend and put her in the trunk of your car. Wait 2 hours then go open the trunk of the car. Now who do you think is happy to see you? ***
Have a blessed weekend!
Kurt and Evey - You've got the world praying for you. We're all keeping a close watch on progress here and are sure treatment will go well.
Love, Jeni
Kurt- Steve called me yesterday and told me of the battle you now face. Sometimes all it takes is to know that you have supportive people that care about you and are behind you. I am sure that this is one of those times. You take care, keep up the battle and please keep us posted.
Mike Fields
Kurt,
Glad to hear the first day of treatment went well. You are in our thoughts. I'll keep checking in and maybe we can make a trip to come say hi.
Will Metcalf
Great to see you and Evey on Thursday! You did look pretty good there kid ;) I will come back and visit next week and next time we'll get you the right popsicles, not the diet ones. Hope the DVD player is working extra great with our two visits to Radio Shack.
Ev - miss you this weekend but I promise some good stories and many ridiculously incriminating if not hillarious photos...not of me of course.
I'm SO happy to hear that yesterday was such a good day! Hopefully today brings the same. We are thinking about you constantly.
- Lisa Hunzeker
Nothing witty for you today my friend. I will say, taking work phone calls is completly unexceptable unless you are still on the clock and banking Mammouth Mondays. Have a good day. I will see you for lunch tommorrow.

Hi Sweetie,
What fantastic friends you have! I can't believe the amount of responses you've had and as John Cora said, its a testament to the type of person you are - I'm so proud of you!
Do you need the Wii? Check with your doc. and find out if you can use it.
Thinking about you all the time and am so happy you're doing so well! Keep it up!
Love you Sweetie,

A SHORT HISTORY OF MEDICINE: "Doctor, I have an ear ache."
2000 B.C. - "Here, eat this root."
1000 B.C. - "That root is heathen, say this prayer."
1850 A.D. - "That prayer is superstition, drink this potion."
1940 A.D. - "That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill."
1985 A.D. - "That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic."
2000 A.D. - "That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root!"

Hi Kurt.
I have a nice surprise for you on Saturday.
I think we need to get an 18 and over Blog going.. Who's with me.
Steve Mathes
Dear Kurt,
Rich Donohue was kind enough to forward your blog. Your strength, the love and the support from your family and friends is truly an inspiration. You are an extraordinary young man and you now have another person in your life sending you positive energy and prayers for a speedy recovery.....Me!
My Best Regards to you Kurt and Evey!
JoAnn Trott
I'm with you Steve. These G rated jokes are hard to find and not nearly as funny. I'm trying!
I just wanted to send a quick note letting you know my family & I have you in our prayers. We send our very best! And Sierra, Hendrix, and Buddy say Hello as well.

Hey Kurt, I was devastated to hear the news from your mom, and want you to know that my thoughts and best wishes are with you.
Your mom is doing a great job keeping me informed of your progress.
I'll be watching the Euro cup on Sunday and will drink a few beers in your honor.
Go Deutschland!
David
Kurt,
My heart was totally broken when I heard the news. I was in town when you were going through all the test, but had to leave the day after you were transfered down to San Diego. I was so sorry not to be able to come and see you before I left for my home in Washington. I think that this is a great way to stay informed and be able to let you know that I am always thinking of you and in my prayers. I would like to know if it is ok to ask my friends in my Bible Study to pray for you? they are a faithfully anda prayerful bunch of ladies.
You will always be one of my sons along with all Glen, Kevin and the rest of the gang.
love you Kurt

Hey Kurt...I got the bad news and can only say how sorry I am, hopefully you'll be over it soon, I know you will beat it.
Say hi to Eric and Steve and especially your Mom (she's so cool).

Been you to have any spike, man?
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul.
You've got to run like an antelope: out of control.
