What's Up?

Matthew finished another round of chemo therapy on Friday. This last round was really hard on him. He was really tired and weak, didn't really have an apetite, and lost almost all of his hair last week. I think he still has some patches of hair on his head, but he's losing his arm and leg hair really fast. His platelets are extremely low, which causes him to get a lot of nose bleeds. He has this clamp that he has to put on the bridge of his nose when it starts bleeding really bad. He has to lay back and leave it on for hours. He doesn't blow his nose anymore because he doesn't want it to start bleeding.
I'll have more updates and details on him sometime this week. I apologize for not being as vigilant, but it's very hard to keep the blog updated so well on top of school.
