Matt saw the urologist on Friday about some of his swelling. The doctor wants him to have an ultrasound done on Monday. We will not get the results back until Wednesday afternoon. Hopefully they will find out that the doctor might be able to help him to reduce some of the swelling.
Matt's swelling continues. Matt did get rid of the thrush he had in his mouth. That was very
hard for him. It hurt to eat just about anything. Matt got some medication for it and and it
finally seems to be going away and Matt is starting to eat again. He is trying to drink as much
as he can also. Matt has continued pain in his pelvic region, lower back and some times in
his shoulder. He says it is hard to get out of bed but once he is out he feels better.
Thank you to everyone for all your prayers!! I will keep you updated on the test results.

Happy Valentin's Day!
Matt would like to thank all his friends and family for all their thoughts and Prayers!
Happy Valentine's Day to all!
Matt still has a little bit of a cough. He saw Dr. Eastman yesterday and they gave him some ideas of what he could do to get rid of it. Matt's swelling continues to get a little worse each day. He tries to
stay off his feet when he can. You know Matt there is to much to do and he has to go, go and go to get
it all done.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

Matt keeps on going!
I just can't believe what a strong young man Matt is. Every morning he has the drive to get up and keep going. He keeps saying there is so much to do!
Matt's legs continue to swell. He is weighing about 122 pounds. Probably lots of it is water weight. Lately he has been only able to wear boots or his flip flops. His shoes are a little tight. Matt is eating very good. He has a pop tart or two every morning. He eats a good meal at lunch. His portion size isn't like it used to be but he still eats a generous portion. Then he has a good supper! Matt has been coughing a lot more. Possible could be due to the tumors in his lungs are growing and taking up some of the space or a possible cold due to his nose is stuffed. When he gets up to fast from sitting, sometimes everything goes white for a few seconds. Then he has to stopped and wait for everything to focus and then he goes. Matt just needs to slow down. Matt is trying to do to much and pushing himself to hard.
Matt is furiously working on his coupons. Anyone knows of a good site on the computer for Matt to print coupons let us know!! Matt gets upset when he goes to the store and the "dumb" computer, doesn't give him his sale price then he has to spend his time at the front desk to get his money back. We have learned to really watch when the cashier is ringing up the groceries. The sale price doesn't always pop up on his receipt and he doesn't get his sale price.
Matt still continues on. He still has things he wants to get done and is working towards them.
"Jesus has you in his hands and holds you with a grip of grace that will not slip and with an arm of strength that will not fail. Jesus spake unto them, saying,("Be of good cheer, it is I; be not afraid")".
(Matthew 14:27)

Busy, Busy
Matt has been busy trying to get organized. He is catching up on a lot of things he had wanted to do but was to busy to do it. Matt has been organizing his garage, closet and his kitchen. We have been making food and freezing some so Matt & Casey have some meals to eat on their busy days. Matt has been keeping me very busy!
Matt has been wearing his pressure stockings a few times. He says they are to tight. I explained how they work and are supposed to be tight. Matt does have a few sores on his feet that make the stocking hurt. Due to his feet swelling he knows the stocks are a good thing. There are days that Matt's feet up to his knees are swelled. When they are so swelled it hurts him to walk. Matt does some things and then he tries to keep his feet up and rest. He is not to go about behaving!
This past weekend he had a Christmas party and baptism. This kept him very busy this weekend. Matt is trying to save money by clipping coupons. He has been going through the papers and ads looking for great coupons. Today it was double coupons at Pick N Save. I have been learning a lot
from Matt and his coupons and why we should keep lists!!
"Some things just aren't in our hands. It's tempting to try taking charge and try making things right, but we know they're best left to God!"
Thank you to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers.
