Matt Gets to Double Up

Darn, Matt is low on both blood and platelets, so he gets to get a double dose of both tomorrow.  I have no idea how long it will take to do two bags of both, but as well as I remember, the blood takes a while.  He is looking pretty pale today, and gets out of breath easy today, so you know, just by looking at him, he is reaching his low point.  Hopefully he will have more energy after tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who donated blood today at work. I can't believe they blood bus was able to process about 36 people in the four hours they were at work.  AMAZING!  What a gift.

I have to be so thankful to God for all he has done in our lives because of what Matt is going through.  I know when we finally get to the other side of Matt's journey will will be able to look back and count it all a blessing.....good and bad.

For those prayer warriors out there....please specifically pray that everything goes smoothly with the transfusions that Matt will be receiving tomorrow.  Pray he doesn't get sick at his stomach and that he doesn't "bleed out" afterwards.  Pray that the transfusions will give him the energy his body needs to fight off and protect him from even the smallest germs (that seem to be everywhere right now).  Pray the little sores he is getting on his body will heal and not get infected during his bodies weak period.  Pray that he doesn't develop any fevers this week.

Thank you all out there for all your support and prayers.  Have a great night!
