Round 2 - Day - %@!!!

Hi Everyone- Just want to let you know that I am out of the ICU as of yesterday (Saturday). I don't have any memories of what happened, only what Evey and my family have shared with me. Thank you all for your thoughts and your prayers. The doctors are saying they still cannot figure out the cause of the lung infection. I will be doing more testing next week.
We will catch up with you soon on any more updates.
Thank you to all of you who sent thank you cards. You can still send them if you haven't already. We are just giving them to the bone marrow coordinator as we receive them.
Take care everyone...

Our dear Kurt,

Nice to hear you are out of ICU! You have touched many hearts and there are a lot of us just waiting for your updates; any small progress is a huge relieve.

Keep fighting, we want to see you in Costa Rica one day! Also try to eat more, even if you can't taste the food; don't let Evey eat it!!!

You are both in our hearts and in our prayers.

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.
