Matt sure needs a break today.
We now know why he is in such pain. Seems that there is a bacteria running crazy in Matt's right side (a bacteria that is normally in each of us, but with nothing to fight it, it has gone super crazy). He has severely inflamed and swollen colon, spleen, appendix, gall bladder, and liver. The ultrasound will be done sometime tonight to help determine more info on the gaul bladder and liver, which also is spotty. At this point, he is not eligible to have surgery to fix or remove any of these, so the meds have got to work.
This new doctor has started a new antibiotic and anti-fungal medication that can hopefully keep things in check while we wait at least 72 hrs for his white count to start to kick in. He will be able to keep pain meds coming every three hours, so we will try to keep him asleep and fever free tonight. So we are in for a rough next three days.
We will be having visits from all three doctors tomorrow to really determine more.
Please continue your prayers, at this point I'm not sure specifically what should be prayed for, so just overall prayers.
