Things did not go as we had hoped they would with the endoscopy this morning. The blockage was not food but a mass so the doctor could not open the stent. He is not sure what king of mass it was but he did a biopsy and we should know later this week. Since they couldn't make an opening there is another procedure they can do but Kirk was not fully awake and could not make that decision today so it may be tomorrow before they try anything else.
He is receiving blood today his count was 7.3 this morning so he is going to get 2 units.
He was resting well today and they are getting his pain under control. He still is in good spirits and enjoys all the calls and visits he has received from everyone!
I will let you know what's next as soon as we find out.
God Bless!
Kirk and Laura
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.

Thanks for all the updates, I know everyone appreciates it. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
I've checked on and visited your mom a couple timees today. I am glad to do that to help out.
If there is anything else I can do, please let me know. Kirk is so strong and such a fighter, we all just have to keep praying not only for Kirk but for his family, for the Lord to give them the strength they need. Hang in there.
We love you!
Sabrina & family
