3 out 3 to go!!!



Dr. Zappa came in and took out Gernade 1 and 5. Then he said in about 2 hours Matt will get 2 pints of blood. His blood count was low the other day and it is a little lower today so they decided to give him some blood. He will have more energy after he gets blood. Then he can go for his walk. I went and talked to Diane. He was afraid we would miss her. She will stop in before she leaves. Here is Matt pointing to the two places they took the tubes (gernades) out. This is what #5 gernade looks like. Matt's fnger is where some of his skin is. From there to the gernade was exposed. The rest was inside of him.

He is also getting a CT scan today to see what is going on inside of him. Why gernade #2 is filling up with blood? Also Dr. Zappa said probably by Friday he will get his NG tube out.

Thank you for all your prayers!

I was so excited that I couldn't even spell. My hands were moving faster than my brain. Imagine that.
