Peg Shares Some News!
Today started out with a visit to clinic. After the usual bloodwork Matthew’s nurse practitioner Peg came in to visit with us. When she said the CT scan looked good Matthew asked if we could see it. He was interested in how well his bones were mending after getting all that disease out of there. The lab report said “unchanged appearance” which is actually quite good news. Then Peg started looking through the scan and noticed that areas that used to be thin were now looking thicker. After many scrolls through the scans she could only fine one small area where she thinks it might still be thin.
Thank you Lord!!!
This doesn’t mean Matthew will be jumping off buildings just yet, hopefully never, but his bones are healing quite nicely.
While waiting in clinic for the time to go down to surgery Matthew had a visitor. Larry from the Snowdrop Foundation gave Matthew a medal that an Ironman Competition winner donates to be given to kids going through cancer treatments at TX Childrens Hospital. They call it Bling For Bravery!
After the clinic we headed to Bone Asperation and Biopsy where, after a little waiting, Matthew was in and out of surgery in 15 minutes and when I saw him in recovery he was one happy young man! Probably the pain meds or anesthesia they gave him!!
Then it was on to get his MIBG injection for tomorrow’s scan and then head home.
The ride home is always great but with Matthew still just a little happy from the procedure it was extra fun! We played a rousing game of “Pick A Phrase From The Current Song As Our Search For What To Listen To Next”. It is great fun. You should try it!!!!!
Tomorrow is an EKG and the MIBG scan so we, as always, appreciate your prayers! We know it will still show NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE”!!!!!!!!!
