back to reality

I am back to work and trying to hold down the fort. The kids and I are doing okay. We are trying to keep positive and enjoy the summer. Thank you for your love and support. Hope to paint this weekend--I need to get back in the swing of it all.

We lost a friend

For those of you who actually follow this blog, Kurt passed away on Wednesday morning. Please read my lengthy blog post on his blog www.kurtbodell.blogspot.com. I will continue to post on his blog. Prayers please.

The roller coaster ride continues

I truly love roller coasters. Kurt and I use to go to Great America every summer. We'd arrive at 10am just to ride only the rollercoasters/thrill rides. We'd go coaster to coaster and leave the park by 2:00. However, this is one roller coaster that I want to get off-up and down, up and down. It's nauseating.

Kurt started chemo on Thurs. evening to get ready for the stem cell transplant scheduled for next week (Thursday?) They decided that it's better to get new cells in him versus taking the risk of more infections and complications. So the game is on. Kurt has a better attitude these days and looking forward to move ahead.

Thanks for your support, jani

update

Kurt agreed to a feeding tube. He is feeling better today. They hope to do the transplant next Monday--starting the chemo/meds on Friday. They want his physical state to improve before they go forward.
