Hello everyone, as you can see from the title we have not been through transplant yet but every step we take gets us closer. The latest big step was to release me back home for a couple of weeks. I got out yesterday at about 6 and have been relaxing at home since. It's quite a transition. I had what felt like the best night of sleep ever last night which goes to show how rough those hospital beds can be, especially after 6 weeks.
So with that said, please send all thank you cards to my donor straight here to the house rather than to the hospital. Address is:
1557 Amberleaf
Costa Mesa CA 92626
Its pretty amazing how many thank you's have already come in so please don't slow down. He is going to be shocked when he sees the geneousity of this group of people. I'm amazed just about every morning myself when I see the new cards roll in. It seems neverending and I would love to keep it that way. We just need to have them sent here for the next couple of weeks.
The next peice of big news I have for you is that Evey and I will be moving forward with our marriage on the original date of the 15th of this month. Yep, you do the math and it means we're getting marrried on Saturday, and we can't wait. We decided we're not going to let this sickness control our lives, so we're going to have a small ceremony here at the hospital...and postpone the big reception for when I get better.
SO... thanks for reading and enjoy the weekend.

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.

You guys never cease to amaze me. I'm emotional as I read your marriage announcement. I can identify with the "life goes on" endurance you are exemplifying. My mom has been dying of pancreatic cancer for this last year and I have had to take that same attitude towards my own life. I will not let the fear of the unknown suspend progress. You two have such a strong foundation and I know your marriage is going to be such a blessing. Congratulations to you both.
God bless you.
