Hi Everyone-
Sorry we haven't had a chance to update the blog. Thank you to all who have been commenting and thinking about Kurt; we both appreciate it so much. Kurt has been too ill to get on his computer to type and give an update. The doctors think it is a reaction to one of the many medications he is on. Kurt has been sleeping a lot and trying to get better.
We just did the bone marrow transplant last night around midnight. His wonderful donor from Sweden donated AGAIN for us and gave Kurt more of his cells. Someone hand carried the cells from Sweden to San Diego for him. This was the best Christmas gift both of us have ever received and we will be forever grateful to him. Words cannot express how we felt when the cells arrived in our hospital room late last night for him.
Please keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming our way. We will continue to update our family and friends with accurate information/updates on this blog only as this was the reason it was created for everyone. Stay tuned for another update from Kurt when he gets better or from me as I receive it.
We wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...
Love,
Kurt, Evey (and Floyd)
