Hand Surgery Postponed

Matthew has to be healthy for 2 week before hand surgery. We knew this would be a challenge, especially in winter.  Matthew hasn't been well for 2 weeks in a row since mid-October. Exactly 2 weeks before the January 6th surgery date, Matthew started coming down with a cold...and then a stomach bug...and then an eye infection...and then an ear infection...and finally a sinus infection.  He hasn't been able to shake it in the week since.  Hand surgery is an elective surgery and thankfully is not time sensitive.  So, we have postponed surgery and our pediatrician is working with us on a medication plan to hopefully get and keep Matthew well.  The new date is February 3 and we pray he will get and stay well for it!
