4/30/11- Update

Hello Friends and Family- We just wanted to send an update on how things are at the moment with Kurt. This has been an incredibly difficult week for us. Kurt is currently being cared for in the ICU because his condition has not been good. Every day has slight changes forward and backward. Please continue to keep Kurt in your thoughts and prayers. It is greatly appreciated.

Additionally, because Kurt has so many great friends and family and is so well loved we've had an overwhelming amount of visitors. Due to the fact he is in an Intensive Care Unit the hospital needs to limit the allowed visitors to be family only. We really appreciate those that have already dropped by to visit, texted, emailed etc. because it really means a lot, but going forward we won't be able to have guests outside of family. We'd still love to hear from you via the blog and will continue to update you as we have more to share.

Love,
Evey (and Floyd)

Evey,
Kurt began his hospitalization just before Diane had pancreatic surgery: Diane was hospitalized for a month with what is the 2nd largest surgery, second only to a liver transplant. You helped us to establish a internet account to keep friends and family informed. What we went through was an incredible ordeal: To think that years later, you guys are still doing the hospital thing is incredibly humbling to us. Please accept our heartfelt feelings and prayers to both of you.

Evey,
Cynthia called me late this afternoon to advise me of Kurt's condition. Haven't seen you guys since Light The Night last year, such a wonderful day with you and Kurt and all your friends and family. That's what I'm remembering now as I pray for God to bless and keep you.
Love,
Wood

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.
