The fun has begun

Hi all, this is Robyn keeping the info coming but not with near as much pizazz as slobody. Curt has now been admitted into Stanford Medical Center and they have begun to take his immunity system down. As you've read, he's been irradiated numerous times a day, numerous days in a row and now he is getting a few days of chemo. His transplant date is still set for Tues. Right now he is just incredibly tired from a combination of the drugs is on and his blood levels being so low. For those of you who are not familier with the BMT process; what they are doing is taking his immune system down to nothing so when he recieves the BMT, his body has nothing to reject it with. If you've been texting or calling that is the reason you are getting no responses. He's pretty much out of it and he will be like this for at least a week if not longer. But we all know what a fighter Curt's been through this entire ordeal and before we know it, he will be zinging his one liners at us when we least expect it; making us all laugh.

Thanks for you thoughts and comments. Curt loves reading them and it makes him feel like he's still a part of the real world instead of this surreal world we are currently dealing with.

Hey, Dad!
Just letting you know that everything is just fine on this end. This cool lady (Mrs. 'snousky) just came over and gave me my meds. We bonded, and I am looking forward to seeing her again tomorrow a.m. She and I will be thinking about you every single minute tomorrow and love you a lot (you, too, Robyn).
Your ever faithful kitty, Lucy

P.S. Schlmo says "Hey!"

Note to all: it was Robyn who INSISTED Curt have a blog. Kudos to her!

Robyn - Thanks for keeping us updated and kiss that fuzzy cheek for me.

Curt - That is soooooooooo sweet that Lucy left you a comment!! Glad you found someone to give her the meds; I have not mastered the ability to shove stuff down the cats mouth and keep it down!

Lots and lots of love to you both!!
