“Status-quo”

20160108_170547

[Today’s picture is of Matthew and sweet Emma when we stopped for dinner last Friday night after clinic.]

It is Tuesday, January 12th, and we are preparing for more blood products (blood and platelets). As always we ask the Lord to bless them so that they do what they need to do and so that Matthew will receive them well with no reactions. We thank God for all the blessings He has graciously given through this “adventure”!!! 

As for the treatment plan things are changing. Matthew’s version of Neuroblastoma is not getting worse but is also not getting much better, yet. There is improvement in some of the tumor area which is good news, he is not in any pain and has actually gained some weight!!

Next up will be two cycles of more intense chemo so please keep Matthew in your prayers over the next 6 weeks or so.

It is looking like he will be home for his birthday but there is a chance his blood numbers will be low at that time so we will have to keep that in mind as we plan how to celebrate his 18th Birthday!!

The “Adventure” continues and Matthew remains in God’s hands. We pray every day for a miracle of healing and we remain so very thankful for the means of healing God is providing also! How ever He chooses to work we pray that His will be done!!!

Thank you for all your prayers, love, and support!

May the Lord bless you all!!!
