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.

Chemo: Day 4

The doctors got him off of his oxygen mask, so now he is just the the oxygen that goes into his nose through the tube. He is still on his morphine drip, but they started to turn the pain meds that are constantly going through his body. Turning down his meds should make him more conscious and less delusional. He now has a physical therapist to start working with him to get him to be mobile again. She came in today and said that he still has good muscle tone, they just have to get him moving around so he doesn't stiffen up. He got up and walked to the shower by himself. My mom had to make sure he didn't fall because he is really weak, but she said he did really well. The nurses called the family support and had them hook up the live for Matthew's xbox, so now he can play online with his friends.
Those are all of the updates I have for today. Things are looking better, so hopefully he'll be able to come home by this weekend.
