Hey everybody, more good days. Kirk has had some really good days. In the past two days he has been to 3 soccer games and an equipment sale. He doesn't get out of the car because it has been so cold but he does go. Today he ate a piece and a half of jelly toast and one egg this morning, drank an ensure before lunch, ate about 2/3 of a really big hamburger for lunch, had an ice cream cone about 1:30, a half of a peanut butter and banana sandwich at 3:30, a bowl of potatoe soup, a piece of homemade lightbread and some fruit for supper and a brownie and a glass of milk for a night- time snack. Not to shabby. Hopefully the weight he lost will come back pretty quick.
We see Dr. Swan and Monday and hopefully we will come up with a really good plan for treatments. Please keep Kirk in your prayers. We wouldn't be this far without God and our prayers being answered. Have a wonderful weekend. Love to all.
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.

Hey, Guys! It is good to hear good news again! I'm so glad that Kirk is able to get out of the house and go places. Several people have commented to me about seeing him out and I think that it thrills us as much as you! Keep up the good work eating, it sounds as though you add a little more each day. Look how far you have come just since you've been home, quite an accomplishment in such a short time. I hope that you're visit with Dr. Swan goes well and he can keep you here close to home. We Love You All and we still think of you and Pray for you every day.
Much Love,
The Cressell's

Hi Kirk...It thrills me to pieces to read the variety of everything you're eating.All that you eat must taste so good after not having much to eat all these months. I think about you alot, especially at the kid's Youth League (soccer) games, or up at the school. You may not be there in body, but I can feel your spirit. Again, we give the glory to God for your continued improvement!! Donna Wilson
Kirk,
Good luck on Monday with the chemo treatment. We will be with you, praying that it is successful and that you are strong enough to accept the treatment.
