Doctor Appt at Johnson Creek

Matt saw Dr. Holen today. They decided right now we have to get Matt's liver working at 100%.  Next week Matt will have another procedure done to put in a permanent stint.  Then he will wait a week and see Dr. Holen again and hopefully the stint will give Matt
no problems.  Matt's skin is still yellow some but getting better.

Matt also had labs done today and we will see what his bilirubin number is tomorrow.  Hopefully it has continued to go down.  The steroid Matt is taking is helping him to have an appetite.  The bad side of taking the steroid is it keeps you awake at nights.
Dr. Holen said to continue to take the steroid in the morning and not to take the night
one so he can sleep better.  Hopefully this will help Matt to sleep!!

A week after Matt's procedure we will meet with Dr. Holen and make decisions on what the next steps will be.  Matt needs to put on weight so he can feel better!  Today Matt was feeling pretty good and not having any pain!

Thank you for ALL your continued prayers.  I believe God is listening!
