Good Meeting with Doctor!

Met with Doctor Eastman on Friday. Dr. Eastman said Matt's vital signs were great! They took Matt's weight and it was up to .....148#! Unbelievable, Matt is doing a great job of putting on
weight! Nurse Karen said this is the second highest weight she has seen Matt have. They
were very happy to see him putting weight on!

New coarse of action is nothing. Matt and Dr. Eastman decided to continue to put some weight on, eat the right foods and take an aspirin a day. Who would have thought that an aspirin a day
also helps to fight off cancer! Not only good for cardiac, now it is good for fighting cancer!!

We are going to wait until January 19 to do another CT Scan and January 21 for another CEA Tumor Marker test and January 22 for the Doctor appointment to find out all the results.

Thank you for keeping Matt in your continued prayers! God is hearing them!

Great News!!

We just got back Matt's CEA Tumor Marker test results! Matt's number went from 3 down to 2.7! As a Mom I was so worried it might take a jump because he hasn't been doing any chemotheraphy! It proves with faith and all the prayers out there for Matt it has been working!

Matt has a Doctor appointment today at 3:00. We will see how much he weighs and what we next.

Thank You for all your continued thoughts and Prayers!! They are working!!

CT Scan Results!!

Good News! Matt's CT Scans were clear! No signs of a tumor anywhere. Now we just have to wait until Thursday when he goes for his blood test. This is his tumor marker test. Last time he was a 3. He slowly creeped up since his surgery in Washington D.C. Hopefully it stopped creeping for a while!!!

So far so good!!

Thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers!! I truly believe in miracles! Matt has so many friends praying for him! Thank you so much!!! God Bless all of you!!

Weight going good!

Matt helping out at home with the Electrician to fix our yard light.

Matt has been taking the last month and trying to eat what ever he could. He was on the scale at the Post Office one day and they determined he weigh about 145. He is feeling okay but keeping very busy at work and getting the plow on his truck for winter. He is planning on plowing driveways this winter.

Matt is at the hospital today getting a CT scan of his pelvic, abdomen and chest. On Thursday he goes for tumor marker blood test and then Friday a Doctor appointment with Dr. Eastman in Johnson Creek with the results.

This weekend Matt went to the Marine Ball Banquet Saturday night with Casey. He was recognized for the help with the Marine Park by the Airport.

Full weekend!

Matt continues to keep very busy! Friday night Matt and Casey spent together and went out to eat. Saturday Matt got up early and took his Dad's car in for a front end alignment. Then Nate went down with his car to get tires. So while Matt was waiting he went to Milwaukee and Waukesha with Lyle for some errands. Matt enjoyed the morning with Lyle while our car was getting fixed. Then Matt picked up Casey and Nate and they went and picked up Nate's girlfriend, Tabby, and went to Aunt Teresesss's house for cousin, Sydney's birthday. She turned 9 on 10/24/09. Conversation was on a roll that evening.

Sunday, Matt and Casey went to church. Then we went to Christine's and Chad's for Colton's birthday he turn 9 on 10/29/09 also. Then Matt went to Casey's house to relax for awhile.

Matt continues to gain weight slowly. He is feeling well. He does not to get a little more sleep. That's a mother perspective of coarse!!!

Thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers!!
