Hospital Stay

Took Matt up to the ER yesterday. Dr. Eastman's office thought it would be a good idea for Matt to check into the hospital and get some fluids for 24 hours. The Doctors think they figured out Matt's problem. They think Matt has Ecoli. Not sure where he would have gotten it from. There are hundreds of different ways to catch Ecoli. They are treating him for that virus and for thrush virus in the mouth (the kind babies get). Matt weighed in at 128 pounds. The Doctor told Matt he needs to eat and put some weight on. Matt hears from everyone that he has to put weight on. He is trying to but nothing seems to stick!!

Today the Doctor let Matt go home. As long as he continues to take the medications they prescribe and he behaves himself they let him go home at 2:00 today. He will still have a few days with diarrhea left with this virus. They want him to drink a lot to flush his system out!

Thank you so much for all the continued thoughs and prayer for Matt and his family!
