After heading home and having a late lunch on our side of town the phone rings and it’s Peg who is Matthew’s nurse practitioner and with a big smile in her voice announced that Matthew scan score is another ZERO!
Thanks be to God, Father Son and Holy Spirit for His continued grace and mercy.
And thanks To all of you who faithfully pray for Matthew.
Well, it has been a little while since the last post but as they say “No news is good news!” But I promised an update so here goes.
THE STUDIOUS ONE
Matthew has been busy starting his second year of study at Texas A&M. As he was winding up his first year he thought long and hard about where his interests lie and has decided to not be an engineer but to persue a Bio Medical Science degree and become a doctor! We couldn’t be more proud and know that he will give it all he has!!
SWEETNESS
Also Matthew and Sweet Emma recently celebrated their 2nd year Anniversary as sweethearts! Are they adorable or what!!! ❤
FOLLOW-UP SCAN DAY
Today is a follow-up scan day so Matthew is resting peacefully in the MIBG scanner. He has been given an amazing ability just chill and sometimes even take a nap during the lengthier scans. We pray and ask that the Lord of Lords will bless Matthew with another ZERO. This afternoon he’ll have a follow-up CT as well.
BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE
Tomorrow will be another busy day. Clinic early for bloodwork and then off to the Clinical Research Center (CRC) for follow-up DFMO testing. DFMO is a trial of an oral (pill) treatment that Matt decided to participate in as sort of an extra insurance to be sure nothing will reoccurring.
After that he’ll have a follow-up EKG to verify that his heart is still as strong and healthy as last time.
PRAYER AND UPDATE
We appreciate you all very much and would like to ask you to please continue to keep Matthew in your thoughts and prayers!
We will post updates as we have them to share.
May The Lord bless you and keep you all! 🕆
