Dr. Sugarbaker came and talked to Brian and I after surgery. He told us he got all the cancer nodules out. He did the heated chemo to kill the small cells he could not see. He did 15 different procedures on Matt.
Much good news to report such as: he still has his belly button, he won't require any more chemo on this trip, he doesn't have a colostomy bag, and the majority of his left side is not affected.
We were able to spend a half hour with Matt in the surgical ICU. He was coming out of his sedation some. He nodded he could hear our voice and feel our touch. Sometime during the night they hope to take the tube out of his mouth that he uses for breathing. The nurse, Melody commented that over the past 6 years he was the youngest patient she worked with of the patients from Dr. Sugarbaker. She said there was a 20 year old from Hawaii last year.
When we had to leave and we said goodbye to Matt he raised his hand and waved bye to us! Even through such a difficult day he left us with smiles on our faces, thats Matt!
Thanks for your prayers and love! Please continue to keep Matt in your thoughts and prayers!

Hey Poster Boy!
Glad to hear that surgery was successful! I was also happy to hear that you still have a belly button. I think that God had his hand in on that one! Rest for now and get stronger for Casey, and your parents, and everyone that loves you!
