Sat. Jan 10th
Kit has not taken any pain medicine for about 30 hours now.... that is such an awesome thing... because his sinus pain is going away. Praise God!!!! He had a tough night tho.. not because of the pain, but because he wakes up every couple hours... completely soaked.. and freezing... so... we strip everything off... get new sheets , nightgown... and start over again. I remember this happened the last time when Kit was recovering from the chemo...antibiotics.. etc.. He was always so cold and the hospital has the AC blasting in here... and so... the night was miserable....it sure is amazing how a little sunshine coming through the window can change things.
The doctor that we love... Dr. "Tiger Woods" Duong came in with good news today. Kit's blood work was very good...platelets up...neutraphils up... He wants Kit to have two units of red blood cells today.....which takes about 5 hours... and then.. he wants to see if we can go home this afternoon or tomorrow. Kit is ecstatic!! He can't wait to get to Larry and Charlotte's place... to open their storm blinds and look out on the whole Waikiki beach... their condo..on the 12 th floor.. has the most spectacular view in the world. It won't be cold there....and to stand there and watch all the action in the water is invigorating.. to the far left .. there are people surfing...then.. the outrigger canoes.. are going out and in.. in the am and pm. then.. there are the stand up paddlers, the snorkelers... swimmers.. then there are people sailing boats past them.. and then.. way out there are the big ships... it is so exciting to sit and look out over God's creation..Oahu is such a beautiful island... We are so thankful to have friends like the Petullas... they are so generous.. When we got our first house 33 years ago..Charlotte stitched the most beautiful" Home Sweet Home" picture that has moved with us from house to house ,all these years...Years ago.. we taught and coached their kids, who are all grown up now with their own kids...We are not sure exactly when we are coming home.. but we will be there soon.

Hi Kit and Shelly
Every time I open Kit's blog I pray for good news and today...WOW!!!
What an awesome news...PRAISE GOD!
He is so faithful.
"The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him" Lam.3:25
Love you guys,
Valeria
Crying 'tears for happy'- as Kit would say - that your homecoming is soon approaching! Wonderful, joyful news- I hope your Waikiki view is as wonderful now as when Shelly described it to us.
Thought my physical body won't be there to see you arrive in Maui when you both return home, I will be with you always in spirit and in love!
POOP
PS: Shelly...I always love the 'Poop' story. Thank you.
That is such awesome news! I can picture the two of you on that Lanai in the warm sun soaking in all of the beauty!:) Thank you, Lord for your tender mercy and love. Thank you, Shelly, for sharing the good news. I just had the most beautiful picture of your pretty smile lighting up the room! Give Kit lots of hugs from all of us.
We will not stop praying.
Love you,
Robyn
Thank the Lord! What wonderful, wonderful news! Kit, you are so amazing. Shelly, you are just as amazing in yet another way. Thank the Lord that Buddy is also doing well. I hope you are in the condo by now. I love you so much.
Big sister, Carol
I am just lead to say this word!
A.....men. a.....men, a.....men.
a.men, a.men.
In our prayers always
Nick and Sharon.
Huray for family and their
safe arrival and time with
you.
Fantastic! But then again, so is our God. I finally found the Hope Chapel here Kailua Kona - went this morning to find a cute little short guy preacher who cries for happy during his sermons. Course it is not our Kittrick, but I did put in the prayer request for butterflies, puppies and a happy Maui homecoming. Love you ALL - Jean Lane PS I check the blog periodically through every day - my current Christian bosses don't mind. and I still love you.
We are so happy! Thanks Be To God! Kit, Shelly we are estatic with you! We keep praying as always! Thank you Jesus! Thank you!
Love,
Lee and Renee
How Great is our God!!!!
This is the news we have been praying for. We are so happy to read it.
Shelly, you really are a talented writer. I should talk to my sis about publishing your words!
We love you Kit and Shelly.
Blessings,
Paul, Judy and Brian Owen
Wonderful news, Kit. We love you.
I have read this last email so much. I just feel you are out there seeing all you described. It is so amazing what God provided us with. Having had a bobcat in our back yard, that we have seen three times since returning to Colorado has been beyond words. It seemded every time I would talk to my sister a hawk would fly by our window. We have seen elk with eight by eight racks right by us. We have deer in our yard and beautiful snow and sunrises. Wanted to share with you our blessing, how is it that our gret God does so much for us and not have people see this. I am feeling the Maui sunshine as I write this however and we will be there shortly. God please watch over all the people hurting and trusting in you. Have the Lauer family enjoy this time, out of the hospital. Put all the people, that praise you, to work with healing this special man, Kit.
Have just the best day, everyone.
God be with you as you grow stronger.
Nick and Sharon
Awesome news! AWESOME GOD! Will continue to pray for more healing...more neutraphils....more peace and happiness for your entire family.
Love,
Doreen and Charlie
Yipee!!!!
that is good news. neutrophils, yeah. may they prosper and multiply.
I'm back on the mainland now, moving in to a retirement trailer park community with Janet & Fred & their cat...I know God has us coming here for a reason, but it still seems kind of humorous to me.
much much love nancy
Dear Kit and Shelly,
I went to work Sunday to find that you had checked out!! All praise and glory be to our God!! Thank You, Lord! He is so faithful! I had been praying along with you and all your friends and family that you would get well enough to at least leave the hospital! I was sad that I didn't get to say goodbye, but I am so happy for you that you don't have to be confined to that tiny cubicle we call a hospital room. I knew I had to write when I had the most vivid dream last night about visiting with you guys in some log cabin next to a crystal clear stream with snow-capped mountains in the background, and we all watched from a window a heron or some type of white bird gobble up a fish. Don't know what it meant, but it was so serene and peaceful!
I read your post on Jan 6 as I laughed and cried at the same time...dear Kit, how you humble me, as sick as you were, you were concerned for my safety! Amazing.
You remind me that the Lord has me there for His mighty purpose; He is so much bigger than anything we will ever face here on this earth, in these temporary,earthly tents. Tough as things may get, He gives us His grace and His strength to make it through! And He places around us brothers and sisters, to share with, to hold hands with, to laugh with, to cry with, and above all to pray with, to encourage one another! What an awesome group you have rallying for you! I am amazed at the love and support that just flows through the notes your loved ones, your family and friends! Kit and Shelly, your devotion to one another, your faith, your steadfast love of the Lord and for one another is truly inspiring! I am so blessed to have met and have had the privilege to work with both of you! Please know that you are in my prayers, and I believe that miracles happen!!
In His love and mine,
Becky
