Hi it's Robyn today. I got here Thurs night and was pleased to see Curt's progress. Although he is VERY thin and weak (looks very much like he did in Jan), he looks so much better than he has in the past month. I would just like to share 2 things.

What Curt has been through is too difficult to describe in words. I have a friend who just went through this in March and he tried to explain it to us on several occasions; but unless you've live it or watched someone live through it, you can't grasp the severity of this procedure. Curt's courage and strength coupled with his sense of humor and positive attitude is awe inspiring. This BMT made his cancer look like child's play. I don't know if anyone watched the 'Stand up 4 Cancer' special on all 3 networks last night; we did and it just brought to our attention again how truly lucky and blessed we are. We will both never be the same once we come out of this.

Secondly, I would like to reiterate what Curt has said previously on the blog. How grateful we are that Connie (Curt's Mom) is available and healthy enough to be here for us. If it wasn't for her I truly don't know what we would do or even if this procedure would have been a possibility. So THANK YOU Connie for your devotion and time.

Connie and I trade posts again tomorrow afternoon, but rest assured that Curt is on his way to getting back to SLO (not soon enough by my standards), but in the big scheme of things very soon.

Curt, Robyn

Lucy is filled up on donuts ...plants are quenched and the bird is watered...all good. And mystery solved... Robyn, you started to disconnect the DVD player to take it, but left it on top of the stereo case.

I took PICTURES of the house to show the progress of these event.... :)

Good to hear you laughing yesterday buddy. Next, the strength and the weight will come back. How much fun will that be to eat as much as you want..."hmmm can I have some more plastic please sir?"

Gotta run...I understand the Cornerview is open. They're serving cocktails and donuts. :)
