Recovery Update- Afternoon 7/29

Today has been pretty uneventful for Matthew, which is good and bad. No bad trends, but no stomach activity either. We are still waiting for his belly to wake up.

We did get an ultrasound of his hip and the x-ray was just at the wrong angle. There isn’t anything wrong w/his hips. That was good news! Matthew really has enough on his plate without adding additional ailments.

Our surgeon is encouraged and thinks we are moving in the right direction. Matthew’s pain is under control and his urine and stomach outputs are improving. I figure whenever we get to feed Matthew, we are 24 hours from checking out. Unfortunately, that clock hasn’t started yet so it looks like we might be here for part or all of the weekend.

Thanks …
… to my folks who came for lunch and gave me time to freshen up
… to my sweet friend, Patricia who came to stock the family fridge with good food
…for the notes of encouragement
…for the prayers and special thoughts for Matthew’s healing and our strength.

Throughout this journey, we are constantly reminded how blessed we are to have our family and friends. Thank you!
