Matt: Day 15

Matt is feeling better for the most part. He still has spurts where the pain gets pretty bad, but overall, he is feeling ok. However, his liver enzymes doubled from yesterday to today. So...we are here at least until Monday. If they continue to increase over the weekend, they are probably going to do a liver biopsy on Monday. If they start going down over the weekend, there is a chance he will get discharged Monday. So, we are knee-deep in the waiting game.

I'm doing everything I can to keep his spirits up, but that is hard. He had several visitors today, which gave him a really good distraction for several hours and lifted his spirits for awhile. But, I think the walls of this room are starting to close in on him! We did walk down to the gift shop today, and we actually went down to cafeteria and ate lunch there, which helped some too. But, visitors always perk him up, so if you are going to be in the north Dallas area this weekend, feel free to drop in and see him!

Please continue praying for us! The longer this thing drags on, the more we need all the help we can get to stay strong and get through it! Please pray for Matt's health, the doctors who are treating him, and for our kids. Chelsea, Lindsay, and Blake have really been through it over the last two weeks, and they can really use your prayers, especially as we are getting so close to Christmas.

Thank you so much for all of your support, love, and prayers! We have amazing friends and family, and I really don't think we could make it through all of this without all of you!
