Ashley's plane arrives around 10 p.m. tonight and she will be head here to see her brother.
Matt slept the day away, I think some of the meds are making him feel quite weird at times, rightly so. He wouldn't eat again today, so they told him will have to drink these Enlive drinks two times a day. He minded the nurse and had one for lunch. Then tried one for dinner and threw it all up while I was at home taking a shower. Sweet cousin Sarah was here and help quickly in getting the nurses. She has been wonderful coming daily in the afternoons to just sit with him. He likes knowing someone is in the room and not talking. Before I could head back to the hospital, I got a text from him that he was hungry for Golden Chicken's strips and mash potatoes with gravy and a roll. He ended up eating two strips and some potatoes. He has held it down, bu still feels sick to his stomach.
As I ramble, the reason he wanted to eat is so he will have strength when Ashley gets in. She is going to be able to stay until Sunday night. I'm thankful that God helped to intervene to finally get her leave stuff squared away for her to come. This will be good medicine for Matt and her.
Thanks again for everyone, friend and stranger, who has help in small and large ways. We appreciate it so much. Just knowing we have a team of people praying all over the states is comforting. Through God, Matt will be completely healed and able to live the normal life that 20 year olds should be living. Matt just hasn't accepted that yet...but he will, hopefully soon.
May you give your kids a big hug and tell them how much you love them tonight. Love to you all!
