I am moving this picture back up to the top. I know how proud Kirk and Laura both are of Matthew and Chase. They are good boys. Matthew has been so strong through all of this and helped to keep the business and things at home going. This is just another reason for them to be proud. Laura said that today Kirk is in a better frame of mind. What a fighter! I think they both feel better knowing they are going to Cleveland. They are moving to Cleveland, OH via a helicopter out of Johnson City called "Wings" hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday. She said that they will probably put the stint in up there to open up the tube between the stomach and the small intestine. This is a risky procedure. There is a chance that the tumor might move into the bowel. Laura said that many of the nurses and even doctors in Bristol have become attached to Kirk. She said that they all talk about what a remarkable person he is and how they pray for his recovery. I am sure that you are like me and not surprised by that statement, because if you know Kirk you love him. He makes it easy. They both thank everyone for the support and prayers. Please continue to post your comments. I will print and fax these to Laura while they are in Cleveland. Your support and concerns really matter to them.

Hey buddy,
I want you to know that I'm thinking about you down here in South Carolina. I pray that everthing turns out for the best, I have spent many nights at your house since I was about 5 years old and I want you to know that I appreciate everything that you have done for me. Once again you are always in my prayers and let me know if there is anything at all that I can do.

Alan Wilder said a prayer for you at Church on Sunday, as I am sure they did at a lot of Churches around our area. We are all praying for your speedy recovery. The doctors in Cleveland should be able to get everything under control so that you can start on your road to recovery! If there is anything we can do, just let us know.

Laura-everyone appreciates the time you have put in to keeping us updated through this blog. I know you have many others things to take care of. Please travel safely, and hang in there. Give Kirk a big hug and tell him everyone is in his corner.
Monica-thanks so much for updating this blog while Laura is traveling and preparing for the trip to Cleveland, it is great that you are dedicated to do this, and Laura has a contact point rather than trying to make a hundred phone calls. I personally want to say thank you. This is even help to all the family, so that we can stay on top of what is going on. Thanks Monica, you are a dear friend, and I appeciate all you are doing.

I continue to pray daily for your family, Laura and Kirk, Matthew and Chase. I see Matthew daily at school and am strengthened personally by his courage and perseverance. I ask God to wrap His arms around each of you and give you His peace during this difficult time. Your family is such an inspiration to so many. Hang in there! Don't give up, don't give out, don't give in! We love you!
Kirk, Laura, Matthew and Chase ----
