Recovery

Dr.Burkard came in last night and explained that Matt has a bacterial infection in his blood.  The test results came back from Johnson Creek and the lab results from UW-Madison ER that he has a bacterial infection in his blood.  The Doctor thinks it is possibly from the plastic stint not working properly or it is from his power port.  They are going to watch him closely and see if he continues to spike a temperature.  If he does continue to spike a temp then he is thinking it is his power port and that brings new problems for Matt.

Hopefully Matt is feeling better and he hasn't had any temperature.  Then it means his 2 new metal stints are working and it isn't his power port.  Last night before I left he had a 98.1 temperature and a 99.2 temperature.  I hope it doesn't fluctuate anymore than that!!
It he doesn't have a temperature than it might be possible to come home later today.  If he continues to have a temp he will be in the hospital all weekend.

I pray to the Lord that he takes care of Matt and his new stints are working so Matt gets to go home and feel better!!  Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers!
