A few complications

Matt has had diarrhea all week long. He hasn't been feeling good. On Monday Casey took him to Johnson Creek Cancer center. They gave him two bags of fluid. Matt was getting dehydrated. Dr. Eastman wanted to put him in the hospital and Matt wanted nothing to do with it.

They took a stool sample and it came back negative. They said all his test came back with real good numbers for his liver and kidneys. So they let Matt go home and to just have toast, bananas, rice and applesauce, They said if he continues to have the diarrhea to call them at 8:30 in the morning.

This morning they called and told them he is still having diarrhea and not feeling well. When Matt got there he also told them about his tongue. He tongue is all white with Thrust. He also said he was having bad pain in his lower left side of his back. They gave Matt a morphine shot for the pain. His back was still hurting so they gave him a little more morphine. Matt would only let them give him one bag of fluid. Then they sent him to Watertown hospital for x-rays.
The x-rays didn't show anything. The Doctor wanted to put him in the hospital but Matt didn't want to go. The Doctor wants him to up the procedure he has set for February 9. Matt was not to excited about it. The doctor he like is out until the middle of February and the other doctor is on vacation. There was one more doctor in the clinic. The doctor called back and said they would see Matt tomorrow at 11:30. They are going to take a scope through Matt's penis and up into his bladder. Hopefully they will be able to figure out why Matt has had blood in his urine this whole week.

Hopefully the medication they gave him for the white tongue will help. They also gave Matt some pain pills for his back. I pray that they figure out what is going on so we can fix it.

Thank you to everyone for all your prays. Thanks for helping pray for figuring out what is going on so the doctors can help fix what is going on.
