CT-Scan

Matt's CT-Scan results are in.  They did not find any blockages that would be causing
the bloating in Matt's abdomen.  They said one stint was working good and the other one was working okay.  They said that as long as one stint is working good that is all you need. The only bad news was they found two more cancer nodules in Matt's lung that was pea size or smaller.  These are new from the scan on September 12.

They were very happy that they didn't find anything else that would cause a fever.  Matt had a tad of a fever at 9:50 this morning. It was 100.5.  He has had 2 more temperatures taken and they were all normal at 98.7 and 98.9.  Hopefully this will continue and he will not have any more temperatures!  Then he can blow this popcorn stand!"  He still has to stay this week because we are waiting for the infection that is sitting in the petri dish to still show negative.  They said even after 48 hours it might turn positive.  They said usually after 96 hours it probably won't change anymore.  So it is a waiting game.

They also said that Matt's white count was low and needed some blood.  So today he got a pint of blood.

Hard waiting game for Matt.  He just wants to get home and be comfortable.

Thank You to everyone for your calls and well wishes!

Thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers!
