Jan 8th

Hey everyone. Im am so sorry I haven't posted for a while. First, our computer went down and I lost all of my passwords and what I needed to log in and then we have just been really busy. For the most part Kirk is doing really well. He recovered from the surgery and is eating really well. But at our last visit to Doctor Swans office the tests he had done on December 20th showed that he still has the cancer in his back and there are a few more spots. They aren't bad but we really need to keep a close watch on them. He will be seeing Doctor Swan again this Thursday and they will check the blood markers that they have been using to monitor his cancer to see if they have gone up any. They were up just a little on the last visit and if they continue to rise Kirk will have to take more chemo. We hope and pray that they will stay down. He is still doing the monthly trial study and they said that this would also help.

We had a very nice Christmas and we just got back from Florida were we watched the Hokies lose their bowl game but we still managed to have a nice trip.

There are a few more of our friends who have been diagnosed with cancer lately and we ask that you put them in your prayers, Becky Harrison and Ted Patton. Your prayers can do miracles and we all need them.

Again I apologize for the delay in getting information to you I will definitely do better. Take Care.

God Bless!
Kirk and Laura
