Thursday, July 3, 2008

Today was another good day as far as feeling well is concerned. Right now we are in waiting mode until next Thursday when they will do another bone marrow test. Until then, there is not going to be a lot of new developments aside from trying to test Steve for a match and finding a match if Steve is not.
Given that there is really not a whole lot to report on, I want to take this opportunity to once again thank everybody for the cards, gifts, cookies, DVDs, magazines, thoughts, and prayers. Everyone of you in your own way is helping us get through this and it is important to us that you know we appreciate it and thank you very much for it.
We will continue to keep you updated but as I said, there won't be much news until we get the bone marrow testing back. Please continue to post your comments and thoughts...
Happy 4th of July to all! We will be here with our fake fireworks compliments of the Cave's!

Hey brother...

So good to get the updates.

I wanted to let you know that Lorraine and Lisle both send their love and thoughts to you. My mom still talks about that half pipe we built in the backyard.

Looking forward to getting back out to Cali and having a surf with you when this is done.

Hi Sweetie,

Hope you're having a good day today - only 4 days until we find out if we go to round 2a or 2b!! Either one will be fine!

Evey, watched Enchanted yesterday and loved it - very cool and a great ending! Thanks....will bring it back tomorrow.

Kurtel, a few phone calls from South Africa this morning (your second cousins) asking me to pass on their love and best wishes to you - they're all thinking about you!

See you tomorrow Sweetie, and remember that I love you very much.

Hi Kurt-
It's Kelli, Kevin's sister. Although I haven't written before this, I have been following your blog every day since you started it. You have been like a brother to Kevin all these years and that makes you family to us as well. We are so bummed that you are having to go through all this, but we know you will get through it. Since we live in San Diego, close to the hospital, please know that we could be there in a few minutes if you or Evey need anything. We are saying our prayers and keeping you in our thoughts and we'll continue to check the blog for our daily updates. take care,
Kelli, Doug and kids

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.

This blog was created to post updates on Kurt and give all of our friends and family a forum to share notes and thoughts. Please check back often for updates.
