Good Day

Uncle Matt and Gavin taking an afternoon nap together!


Matt had a Doctor appointment today at 9:00 and 9:30 for chemo if Matt gained weight and if he was feeling better. Matt has been feeling really good for the last week. He says he is hungry all the time. Well ......it really showed at the doctor appointment. Matt weighed in at 136.6 pounds from 119 pounds two weeks ago. He was complaining about his belly was growing out and not the weight going to his arms muscles! LOL

Dr. Eastman checked Matt over well. They decided that Matt was feeling good and weight was good so he went in the other room to do chemo. They decided since Matt has a hard time taking so many pills to do some of them by IV instead. Matt really liked that idea. Matt felt good the whole day at Johnson Creek cancer center. Matt also enjoyed the company of his nephew, Gavin. He stayed with us the whole day to help keep Matt company. Gavin had a great time with Uncle Matt and all the other patients at the center.

Tonight Matt has been feeling a little nauseous. As long as he take his pills that helps him with it he should feel better.

Yesterday Matt and Casey and Bret and Chelsey went snowmobiling. They went from Ixonia to Watertown's Arby's by Walmart. It took them about an hour to get there get something to eat and use the restrooms and another hour to get home! Matt wanted to get snowmobiling that night because once he starts chemo he has a hard time handling the cold.

Thank you for all your prayers. We are thankful for one miracle at a time!
