Do we stay or do we go now..............

After what seemed like a whirlwind of activity, Curt left for Stanford again. Unfornately he ended up in the hospital again last Thurs-Sun so we weren't able to have the BBQ we wanted to have over the weekend to thank everyone for their support and to say good-bye.

We've started this blog (thank you Heather)to keep people informed and give you opportunities to keep in contact with Curt. This is in an effort to keep our phone bills in check. When Curt was first diagnosed back in Nov, we both had $300+ phone bills. Please check this blog and respond as often as you like. Curt has a laptop (thanks to the Lamberts) with him and his transplant date has been rescheduled to 8-5-08. Up to that date he will probably check the blog every day. After that date I will check it, post updates on his progress and respond back to everyone. We are both looking forward to getting this behind us and know the journey will be difficult, but the destination will be glorious.

Curt will be at Stanford for approximately 100 days. His Mom will be with him during the week and I will go up Thurs nights for the weekend so she can take a break. He'll be in ICU for 3-6 weeks depending on how his body responds; then moved to an on-site apartment. He started radiation treatments first thing Mon AM and that will continue for about 10 days. Thank you for all of your prayers; we know it is out of our hands now.

Hey Curt,

All manner of sparkling joyful thoughts are flowing yours (and Cris')way from Texas. Love the pictures - I can't believe how much you still look like the pictures that were taken in (aaarrgh) 1966, 1967? Yikes! I'll have to see if Cris knows how to post them on here for all to enjoy! Keep smilin'. Love, Your Biggest (shortest) Sister
