The purpose of this blog is to keep family and friends updated with the most recent news on Matthew. It will also document his biggest trial to date and serve as a reminder of how many people love and support him, and how much the Lord loves him when he has beat this terrible disease.

Go Falcons!

Yesterday afternoon a few teachers from Finley Farms Elementary came to visit Matthew. They told us that at their school they have been doing a fundraiser where kids are allowed to wear hats at school if they pay $1. The kids loved this opportunity to break the rules and wear hats. Mrs. Rico, Mrs. Claire, and Mrs. Roy brought all of the proceeds from the fundraiser in the form of gift cards to our house. There are gift cards for food and gas, but also for fun things for Matthew to buy and do to keep himself busy while stuck at home. They also brought a huge stack of cards that their classes had made. I went through the entire stack this morning and read them to Matthew and they were awesome. Hallmark should hire these kids! They were all very colorful and original, some were pop-outs, some were funny, all were thoughtful...I was so impressed and loved reading them. So did Matthew. He laughed and smiled from the things all of these kids were saying.
