Kurt's latest

Well, it's been a long five days since Kurt received the stem cells at 10pm on Wed. nite. Since then he has been very nauseous with bad headaches. Yesterday he actually ate three meals and went for a walk up and down the hall. However, today he is back to square one, sleeping, headaches and feeling awful. This process can last several more days. The stem cells are currently setting up shop in his bone marrow.  

It's been a long day--I hardly remember typing the last paragraph this morning, half asleep.

Waiting for Stem Cells

It's Wednesday nite, and we are patiently waiting for Kurt's stem cells to fly in from some unknown location. This procedure will be painless, a bag o' stem cells goes into his tube in his chest, then the stem cells "know where to go." Fascinating. Over the next week, they will monitor him to make sure his body is accepting them.

In the meantime I am drawing and painting notecards in his room and typing on the University of Chicago's family computer in his room--an added bonus when your bill is over $100,000.

Thank you Jane and Richard for commissioning me to do the paintings. They look nice on the blog, don't they?

To my artistic friends, keep on painting, writing, drawing, singing, throwing, shooting photos...creativity infuses happiness in our hearts, which we then share with those around us either through our artwork or in our spirit. Inspire. xxoo
