The docs said his scan did not look good. They was hoping they would see things clearing up but instead they found that his pancreas is still inflamed & leaking. They said it does happen sometimes & it's not something that they can or need to fix right now. He said the body usually builds a wall or cyst around the area to protect the surrounding areas. However that cyst can grow large & need additional surgery or a drain put in it later down the road. We won't know till we get to that point. He said right now things can go either way. It can start healing itself faster or it can start causing more issues. He isn't stable enough to go home or have his liver surgery He still needs to be monitored for infection & other issues. He said according to how Matt looks & acts its not a severe case but his bloodwork & scans show its a more severe acute case so he definitely has to stay here for now. They have figured out he is pretty tough & can handle more pain then most people. Now the kicker is they have to postpone the liver surgery AGAIN. They can't open him up until he pancreas is settled down or they will cause another flair up that could be worse or fatal. They can't answer me on long term issues for the pancreas or how this will effect other organs. They said they don't know until it's done doing what it's doing. At this point all we can do is monitor for other issues from the pancreatitis or liver, keep him as comfortable as possible & let his body keep fighting. They will only do surgery or intervention that is an emergency because it will make everything worse. He said it could be a couple more weeks before they can do any surgery on his liver. We was really hoping he would be on the healing side of all this & have surgery soon but instead again we have more complications

Thank you to everyone that has added him to your prayers & donated! 

Also thank you to those who have shared. We appreciate it greatly. 

His pain was manageable last night. How pancreas levels have went up yet again & his white blood count is also rising yet again. They was planning to do a scan on Monday but they may be doing it earlier to get a better look at his pancreas & liver. Exciting news is our kids are coming to visit today. We need some hugs for sure!

I would like to thank everyone for the prayers & donations. Yesterday his pancreas numbers went up again & his liver functions are getting worse. Last night his pain increased more. It's mentally & physically draining him. He is very depressed. He is not used to staying inside. He prefers to be outside with our animals & taking a ride for some wind therapy. Please continue to pray that his pancreas settles down so they can do the surgery on his liver soon. We are missing all our kids & grandkids. Our 9 year old is in 4th grade & we are trying to keep her on a normal schedule but this is very hard on her. She wants to go home to her own bedroom & she wants her mom/dad home also. Please keep the prayers going for physical healing & for all of our mental health!
