Post from Flo

Kurt apologizes for not posting, but he said he doesn't have anything to add....however, I do! This past week has been challenging for Kurt. He hasn't been able to eat/swallow due to fever, a virus and a throat issue. So they recommended a feeding tube to which he agreed since he really hasn't had a meal in 5-6 days. The feeding tube is working fine and also helps with his heart meds--dealing with high blood pressure/fast heart. The doctors want him to get stronger for the stem cell transplant--If all goes well the rest of the week, they will start chemo and some other meds on Friday to prep for the transplant. Wednesday morning he will have a new hickman line put in since "they" broke the other one.

Thanks to all for love, support, laughter, patience, visits, food and more food, gift cards, driving my kids, coffee, hugs and kisses (can't get enough of those!).

Fondly, Florence Niten Gale
