Update - 7/5/06
Matthew is arriving "home" as I am typing this message - his new temporary home at Grandma and Grandpa's house. A new chapter in the Kurz family life has begun. The whole family is "moving in" with Grandma so that they can be together as a family again.
Once Matthew was hydrated again last week, he began doing much better and was more responsive. He is doing well enough to be released and in the care of his parents and loved ones. As the next few days unfold we will share with you the challenges and joys of being in a new surrounding.
I know you are all keeping the Kurz family in your prayers. Please pray for strength and courage for Brenda and Erich as they care for their son 24/7. Pray that Andrew, Lucas and Timothy will be great help to their parents and their grandmother. Pray that everything will be done to make sure that Matthew has what he needs for daily sustenance, as well as continuing to make little victories of improvement.
If you would like to send cards or letters to Matthew and the rest of the family, you can send them to their home address where they will still get mail (and Pastor Kurz will be working in his study), as well as at Grandma Kaiser's house:
Matthew Kurz

My updates to the blog have been scarce lately because we have been on vacation and not able to connect to the internet on a regular basis. But vacation is almost over and we're in touch with the outside world again.
Hope you had a safe and enjoyable celebration of our nation's Independence Day.

It's good to hear that Matthew made it home. The Kurz family will be in my thoughts and prayers as they go through some major transitions. Brenda and Erich have a lot on their hands with being full-time caregivers to Matthew and also being parents to their children at the same time. It is my hope and prayer that the Kurz family is welcomed back into a supportive community and congregation.

Brenda - Erich and family,
WELCOME HOME MATTHEW !
I know today and the next few will be days of joy, wonder, frustration, concern… don't let it get to you.... "this too will pass". The adjustment phase is a short one; I know the staff at Rusk, especially Everett, trained you well. YOU CAN DO THIS - I PROMISE.
Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" - it's the doing of things through Christ that strengthens you.... It strengthens your faith - your resolve - your inter-dependence (within your family) and your dependence (on our loving Savior).
My family is praying for your family.
Congratulations on this big step forward.
