I see on yesterdays comments that Laura has figured out that she can make comments. I am so glad that she can access this blog. It is so helpful for them to keep the communication line going. She said at lunchtime today that Kirk's white blood count is up over 1,000 now. There was a new group of docs in to see Kirk today. They are changing his meds. They are thinking this might be part of the reason for the nausea along with the chemo, the stint surgery, and the fact that he hasn't eaten for so long. They are also putting some "nutrients" in his IV (this is NOT a feeding tube). If he can start to eat for a couple of days they will let him come home. He is being moved into a private room sometime today. Laura said that she had a good nights rest last night in the hotel. The hot shower was nice too. She sounded really good when we talked today. Keep praying that Kirk will get strong and heal.
Thanks
Monica
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.

Kirk & Laura,
Just wanted to drop a short note to say that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Dad seems to have everything under control at the farm, but hey like I would know any different! I am sure you can not wait to get back to farming, unlike me. Someone has to tell Dad what to do and get by with it besides Janice. Just remember one important thing.....DO WHAT THE NURSES TELL YOU! I know what happens if you don't.

Kirk and Laura,
I was sorry that I could not attend the pray service on Sunday, but at the time it was going on I had stopped what I was doing and said my own prayers for you. Which have been non-stop anyway. Kirk I hope you can start eating soon this way you and Laura can come home. Laura, I'm glad you were able to get a nice hot shower and a good nights rest. Hang in there!!!!! I saw Chase on Sunday playing in the back of his grand-daddys pickup. He appeared to be quite busy.
May God keep the both of you stong so you can get thru this ordeal.

You all are in our prayers everyday take care and as always if you need anything please let us know. God Bless We Love All of you. Love Dawn, Keith, Caitlin, Aaron & Scrappy
