I arrived at the hospital at about 3:00 pm yesterday afternoon. Kirk was asleep and his sister Jamie and his Granny Sult were there. For those of you who do not know his Granny Sult, she is 89 years old and just the cutest little lady. They left soon after I arrived and Kirk didn't wake up until about 5:30. He ate supper which was pork loin and some sweet potatoes, which he ate a little of, but he ate a whole piece of apple pie. We had a nice evening and we both slept O.K. The nurses do not come in as much when someone is there at night. This morning Kirk woke up at 7:30 am and was already wanting breakfast. He ate some cereal and a little oatmeal. So his appetite is coming back. The doctor I was waiting to see was off today, imagine that, but I talked to his nurse Paula and she had called Cleveland. They are sending all of their notes to our doctor here and she said as soon as they received them the two doctors would talk and decide when to start chemothereapy.
Kirk had a busy morning his IV had to be changed and he had several visitors, his brother Eddie and wife Rita, and Rhea Cole and Scotty Vaught from the County. He enjoyed seeing them. I also apologize if I leave anyone off when they visit. If I'm there, I will know you are there, but a couple of times I think Kirk was drowzy and didn't tell me when someone had visited. Sorry if I missed you but Kirk really appreciates all of the visits and cards and all of your prayers. His phone number is 423-844-2025 and usually lunch time is best for him. Thank you so much for the posts. I am going to print them each day and take them to Kirk. He will really enjoy them. He doesn't think he is important enough to have his own blog but we will have to show him otherwise. Thanks again and I will update tomorrow.

Kirk, Glad to hear some good news. Cory asks about you everytime we talk to him.
Hello my dearest Uncle Kirk,
It was so good to see you last week! I'm thankful that all is going well with your treatment and despite this..you are still quite a character. You really cracked us girls up when you told us about how the "nurses come a running like a herd of elephants" when you get out of bed. I laughed till I just about cried. You are such a strong man and have a very compassionate heart. You mean so much to us and I want you to know that God is watching over you each and every day. I think about you every day and pray that soon you will be healed. I love you so much!
