MRI

Matthew is still in a lot of pain today. I talked to my dad this morning, and he said that last night when they got to the ER there was a huge line of people waiting to be taken care of. The nurses saw that Matthew was a bald little cancer kid, so they got him in a room right away though. He didn't sleep all night because of the pain. He just stayed up groaning and clenching. Dad said that last night was the second worst night of Matthew's life, the first one being the first time we took him to the hospital. I went and saw him today at 6:30, and he was still grunting from pain, but he wasn't in tears like last night. I tried feeding him a burrito, but he could barely open his mouth to eat it so I had to cut it up into small pieces. The nurses took him down to get an MRI around 7, so I left. I think he's getting another PT scan sometime soon too just to make sure there is not another tumor growing. I don't think he does, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I'm also not sure about how long he'll be in the hospital, but he is very ready to come home. Today was not the best day, but it wasn't as bad as yesterday, and it can only get better tomorrow.
