Doctor Appointment

Matt had a doctor appointment on Tuesday. He weighed in at 119 pounds. Matt said that this was the first day he had more than applesauce to eat. Before he went to the doctor Matt had a bowel of cereal, half of a chicken sandwich and some chicken casserole. He said it felt good to have food again.

Dr. Eastman told us that Matt's numbers for his kidneys and liver were good. He said because of his surgery and the infections in his bladder, his bowel and in his mouth would throw off his number for us tumor marker test. Last time his number was 14.7 it went up to 15.1. We were happy with that number. Because of Matt's weight and that he is so weak Matt decide to put chemo off a week. Dr. Eastman is going to see him Tuesday morning then him and Matt will decide if he should have chemo that day.

Today Matt feel good enough to get up and plow out some people. There was so much snow that it was taking him twice as long to plow the long driveways he has to do. After a long day of plowing Matt went home watched a movie had something to eat and went to sleep.

Thank you to everyone for their prayers. The power of prayer is so unbelievable!! Thank you very much for all the continued prayer power for Matt !
