May 15th

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't posted for a while things have been really busy. Kirk is doing well. He has been getting out a lot, going to eat, going to games, and the movies this past weekend. He started his third round of chemo yesterday and so far is doing O.K. We met with Dr. Swan before he started and he told us that by looking at some blood markers the chemo seems to be working. The marker he is using is supposed to be around 150 but Kirk's was over 400, now after two complete treatments Kirk's is down to 242. Dr. Swan said that he wanted Kirk to take this treatment and then one more and we would start tests again to see what to do next. Kirk is eating and putting on weight so that is another good sign. It is amazing in going through this how many people's lives cancer has touched but the good thing is it can be cured or in some cases treated to where the people can still have good lives. We have met many wonderful people with extroardinary stories. Well thanks again to everyone for your support and prayers. We love you all.

God Bless!

Kirk and Laura
