Matt had a wonderful birthday! He worked out at the farm with Kyle, coming home tired and sunburned. So after he cleaned up today, he wanted to eat his favorite food at Mandola's...Ravioli and cheese pizza. It was fun to have Suzy, Matt and the girls join us.
Of course his plan this past week was to go up to see his wonderful nurses up at the hospital to thank them for getting him well to celebrate today. We got there later than we had hoped, so we missed several we wanted to say hi to, but it was nice to see on of his favorites Sandy there. Sandy got Matt through many a night while he was going through some of the supper ruff times. Don't know if we could ever thank all the staff enough for the wonderful care.
Thanks to all of you who have continued to pray for Matt. You too are a big reason we have so much to celebrate today!
Love to you all....and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Matt's Birthday Is Sunday!
Matt's birthday is Sunday. Wow! What a difference six months makes. November was doom and gloom, with so much fear of the unknown. So much fear he would pull through to even celebrate his birthday. Thanks goodness for all the blessings God has given Matt during these past couple of months....giving him the gift of life....a life full of possibilities.
May this birthday be full of blessings for Matt!

Belated Mother's Day Update
Matt continues to improve more and more each day. Both physically and mentally. He is doing daily weight lifting to begin gaining back muscle lost over the 5 months of treatments. He is also gaining back, I'd guess about half, of the 25 lbs. he lost. So he is really looking good.
His hair is continuing to come in, really dark and now with lots of gray. He continues cuts it really short now, I guess he got use to it that way all those months, but it looks good.
He did need glasses so he looks very "smart" now with them on. He says he can now see and is excited that his headaches have stopped.
For those of you that had been praying for various needs, thank you. Your continued prayers a very much appreciated as we start the long five year journey of blood test to confirm remission continues.
