Matt: Riding the Roller Coaster

So, right as I was hitting the "Post" button for my last update, the nurse came in and announced that he had a new medicine for Matt. We asked him what it was, and he said that it was an injection that is used to dissolve blood clots. I asked him if it was just ordered, and he said that it was. So, being pretty intelligent people, Matt and I were able to deduce fairly quickly that the MRI must have found a blood clot. After a few phone calls, we did find out for sure that the preliminary report from the MRI did show a small blood clot in his liver. This, of course, prompted a whole new set of questions for us. How do you treat this? Why does he have this? How does this effect when he will go home?

Right now, we don't have answers. We have some speculation and some possibilities. But, until the liver team sees the final MRI report tomorrow and starts making decisions, we won't know anything definite. What we do know is that this is not life-threatening or dangerous, so that is definitely a good thing!!

I'm almost starting to think that God is testing me to see if I can really walk the walk. It seems like very time I say I'm ready for whatever news will come, and that I will keep my faith in God no matter what, something happens that really puts that to the test. Well, I can tell you right now that an MRI result doesn't even come close to shaking my faith. It is just one more thing that Matt and I have to conquer together. I am still praising and still praying, and will continue to do so! Everyone always says that God never gives you more than you can handle, and I think I am living proof that this is true!

"No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing He will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it." -1 Corinthians 10:13

Please keep the prayers coming!!!!
