Another Bump

Matt hit another bump in the road today. After they inserted another feeding tube that goes into his intestines they could not get his oxygen stats to come back up. After trying for 90 minutes they decided to sent him for a CT scan. They discovered a pocket of infection in the right lung, so decided to put a drain tube in to the pocket. As they were putting in the tube, they got air on the outside of the lung so another tube was needed to drain the air out of that. Matt was in considerable pain and states this is the worst day he has had. We thank God for the wonderful Nurses and staff who got not only Matthew but us as well through a long and stressful day. We thank each of you for the many prayers and encouraging words. Hebrews 5:8 He learned obedience by things which he suffered.

Hey there Matt. Sorry to hear that your day didn't go so well. It's good to hear that you've got good nurses looking after you. I know you'll get over this little bump. You guys take care, stay strong, and in the words of a Bon Jovi song Keep the Faith. Love all you guys and God Bless.

Hi Matt and Family,. Lac La Biche has a Pow Wow every year like the Melfort fair. Anyway we have Yellow Ribbon Native dancers that perform throught they day. They do this one dance which is called the healing dance. I was talking to them and I asked if they could dedicate that dance to you Matt. So I hope that their healing dance brings you lots and lots of healing power which you all need.
Take care everyone
