Well, we had a much better day today. Kirk was feeling much better and very chipper today. We had such a nice afternoon we chit chatted about everything. Something we hadn't done in a couple of weeks. He slept some but not as much as usual. The doctor told him this morning that he was going to change a few things because Kirk needed to be at home. He started today by giving him the last of his chemo through the IV. Orginally, he was going to have take chemo for ten days orally but the doctor decided that may be upsetting his stomach so he had them give him the whole treatment today. Kirk seemed to handle it O.K. When I talked to him at around 9:00 pm he was still doing well.
Tomorrow I think they are going to make more medication changes but we are not sure what it will be yet. Kirk still isn't eating much. He says that he doesn't have an appetite but I also think he is almost afraid to eat for fear of getting nauseous. I can't blame him but he really needs to eat. He had a few visitors today, his dad and Uncle Moon, Lee Alley (Russell Alley's brother), Chad and Mandy and Jim Jon and Regina.
I'm glad that everyone can check this site and thank you so much for the posts. They are very encouraging to Kirk and the whole family. Until tomorrow.
God Bless!
I have been diagnosed with cancer. The cancer is of unknown primary which means they do not know where it originated. I have several tumors on the bone. I have be working with the Cleveland Cancer Center and an oncologist in Abingdon. This site is for my friends and family to see how I am doing each day. Thanks for checking in. I really appreciate everyone's prayers and concern. Thank you.

That is Great News. I hope Kirk will be able to get his apetite back soon. Taking baby steps now is fine. Any improvement right now is a blessing. It is so wonderful to see all the comments here on this blog. I know it is encouraging to you both to know that you have so many friends. Please know that we are here for you if you need anything. We haven't visited in the last couple of weeks because we know how much Kirk needs his rest and he doesn't need to be exposed to any germs that we might be carrying. You know however we are a phone call away if you need anything. You are in our prayers everyday!
Much love,
Foy, Monica, Allison & Savannah
Glad to hear that you are feeling better we all know that you are a strong person. Once again if there is anything that we can do please let us know.(686-4051) Hopefully when you get to feeling up to having company we can come and see you. But has each night comes you are in our prayers before we go to sleep and when we wakeup we ask god to let you have a good day and keep his heeling hands on you. We love you all just hang in there.

Hey Kirk and Laura-I just found out about this site. Scotty e-mailed it to me today. You have been weighing heavy on my heart the past few weeks. If there is anything I can do for you and your family please let me know. You are in my thoughts and prayers every day.
Love and prayers,
Missy
Dear Kirk, Laura, Matthew, and Chase,
I share your good news with all who asks (and even those who do not). We pray that your improvements continue. When we are all more germ-free, we'll come to visit.
Lots of love and prayers your way,
Timmy, Tammy, Jacob, and Alli
WOW! Sounds as though Kirk is feeling a lot better, wonderful news! It seems to be spreading through the family-- I passed Matthew this morning as I was taking Dana to school. He was more his crazy self waving and grinning than I have seen in weeks!! We hope that Kirk gets to come home again(to stay) in the next few days. I am sure that you all are ready for some family time together at home. I am so glad that we are lucky enough to have e-mail to communicate when visiting isn't the best option. So, just because we don't come around please understand that we want to give you time and space to get back to where we all want you to be. For now we will visit with you via "The Web".
Take Care, Stay strong, and remember that we Love all of you guys!!
Danny, Melissa, Brandi, Goose, Pookey and Shorty
