Matt was feeling better today. His headache and stomach pain are still lingering, and the nausea comes and goes, but overall, he seems better. He is really starting to get antsy about going home, so I guess that's a good sign. He is trying to avoid the IV medicines as much as possible and switch over to the pills he can tolerate. He is really trying to convince them he is ready to discharge!
We got no new information today, except that more of the tests have come back negative. There are 15 more viral/fungal studies pending. They are ruling out a ton of stuff, but still no definitive answers about which virus has caused all of this. There is a very high liklihood that we will leave the hospital and he will get better on his own without ever finding out what the actual cause was. But, at this point, I'm OK with that!
We heard nothing new today about a projected discharge date, so we are still clinging to the fact that yesterday they said maybe Friday. We are REALLY hoping for Friday, since they usually don't do a lot of discharges on the weekends. Sometimes I think sleeping in your own bed and eating a home-cooked meal is better medicine than anything they could ever put in an IV!!
Thank you for every single prayer that has been said for him/us over the last 13 days! I know God is hearing every one of them! And, I also know that He will answer every one of them in His way on His time table. The hard part is patiently waiting for those answers! Please continue to pray for Matt's recovery, as well as for my mom and our kids!
