Day 4 - Evening

Today has been another good day...chemo is working, that is why Matt feels so bad.  Bad is actually good in this case.

I've been thinking a lot how lucky we are to have four great kids.  It's amazing how they are all pulling together and handling all this so well in each of their own ways.  I think back to when they were growing up, they could fight something fierce against one another, but let someone else mess with one of them and they would always stick up for each other.  Well they are sticking up big time for their brother now.  Their love for him is so great and I know that love is getting him through so much right now.

Rebekah and I visited a long time tonight.  It is amazing how God is working in so many ways with so many lives.  Rebekah is in the place she is suppose to be right now.  Even though it so far away from home and I want so much just be be able to give her a big hug and tell it is all going to be okay....I have peace knowing she is being supported so well where she is.  Her NMHU "family" has been so supportive of her right now. If she were at a bigger school I know she would have been lost in all of this. Coaches, team mates, students, and strangers - you guys will never know how much the mom loves you for your kindness.  The prayers that so many students are lifting up for her brother are really touching both him and her.  You are amazing!  Go COWBOYS and COWGIRLS!

Sweet Ashley is staying the night with Matt tonight.  I know I will be energized just sleeping in my own bed tonight.  I will be able to go back stronger and renewed.  Momma Laura is with "Mattie" right now  and I know he will respond so well to her time with him.  I pray that he will have energy this weekend to spend time with Kyle and Sara.  Matt is so blessed to have friends like that.

Please continue the prayers from earlier today.  Pray for a peaceful night and some recess from the all over body aches he is having.  Love to you all and here's to a wonderful night!
