Today's checkup went well with the doctor. Matt hasn't gained anymore weight and his joints still feel like "fire balls" but all in all he is continuing to hold steady.
Dr. will already have Matt pre-checked in on Monday morning at 7 a.m. for consolidation chemo. He is expecting that Matt will go home by 10 PM on Friday, December 31st....just in time to ring in the new year. Matt will do two rounds IVs of chemo on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and then go home to recover on Friday night. Matt is expected to go in at least twice a week after he is released to monitor blood counts, etc. Matt will still need blood and platelet transfusions, but those can be done at the doctors office. Of course we will continue to monitor at home for fevers and maintain a germ free visitors zone to hopefully prevent Matt from having to re-enter the hospital. Dr. said this will be our routine for the next four months of consolidation treatments.
Praying everyone is enjoying their families. Bless each of you have continued to pray for us. Your love and support means more to our family than you will ever know. Love to you all!
