I have not updated for a few days. I am struggling to get everything done for everyone & keep things going in order for our Fire Departments upcoming events. Matt is still fighting a fever off & on. He has lost over 35lbs in less than a month. He can't eat much still but he eats what he can. His hiccups are back. More bloating pain & not sleeping for long periods at a time. He is up & down all day & night. He has an appointment next Monday in Galveston. His primary doctor still hasn't got his records from his hospital stay. They wanted me to print them off from my computer but its over 400 pages. Matt is beyond bored but has no energy to do anything even when he is awake which isn't often. Keep us in your prayers & Thank you to everyone who has donated!

I wish I had good news but it's another day of want & see. He is still sleeping most of the day. He is very weak. He is still losing alot of weight. Hoping we hear what the next steps are or atleast when the next scan is so we can get some kind of update on if the mass has found a new source of blood flow or how his pancreas is doing. It would be great if they said there's shrunk & the pancreas stopped leaking. Still holding onto faith cuz that's all we have right now! 

Matt is still hanging in there. He is still sleeping off & on all day. His cramping & pain haven't gotten any better. His painful hiccups are alittle less often but they still come back several times a day. He is absolutely exhausted & I know he needs rest bit he isn't getting the right kind of rest since he don't sleep long at all. Even at night he has to sit up on the edge of the bed several times to relieve pain. We still need lots of prayers. 

From the looks of it he is going to be off work even longer then we thought so financially it's going to make us struggle more & longer. I'm keeping faith that he will eventually be able to return to work. He mentally & physically needs to be able to have that. 

Matt had a rough evening & night. He woke up alittle this morning but wasn't awake very long before he went back to bed. Last night he had alot of bad stomach cramps. I know he is happier at home but its so hard because he don't have the same pain management that he has in the hospital. Even in the hospital they had trouble managing his pain so pills at home are not cutting it. He needs to be able to rest so he can heal.  He is sleeping a lot but its not productive sleep. Its more naps like a newborn baby. He is trying hard not to be snappy but when you are in pain it keeps ya in a miserable mood. I did bring our other great dane Summer home last night so maybe some snuggle time with her will help him relax. Its hard to balance his needs & our daughter Alyssa's needs plus get anything done around the house. She is only 9 & all she wants is her normal life back with healthy daddy. Please keep praying for all of us. Especially Matt & Alyssa! 

Please keep sharing & thank you for everything everyone has already done to help us!

Matt is doing alright at home. The nurses have called to check on him. He is extremally exhausted & naps a lot during the day the day. Unfortunately he is in more pain at night so he don't sleep very long. His hiccups keep coming back which are very painful for him. He twitches in his sleep all night which he has never done before. He is still losing weight & not able to at much. He loves being able to snuggle with Alyssa in the evening. He likes to sit on the porch & watch his chickens run around the yard. It is the little things in life that you have to hold onto. He has a long way to go before he can have his liver surgery. The doctors said it could be in as little as 2 weeks but could be more then likely be closer to 6 weeks & even longer if he has more issues. He will be out of work till at least after the new year but even then we don't know if he will be able to return at all especially if the biopsy results are not good. This is all very hard to swallow for all of us. He has been so active & always doing stuff. Our daughter Alyssa is so used to him being able to do or fix anything. Her 10th birthday is November 1st & that is always a huge milestone in life. she will finally be double digits. She is already asking if her daddy will be in the hospital on her birthday. It breaks our heart to imagine him being in the hospital for her special day but its also a blessing that he is still here & fighting! This waiting game is horrible. I have always been the one to make things work out. I fix the problems but I can't fix this. Hopefully his pain will decrease & we can both get a good nights rest soon.
