LATEST UPDATE:
i just talkd to "r" and she is at the hospital about to take matt home.
the results from his cat scan were inconclusive.
so hard to hear. because we really wanted answers. but the doctors, for whom "r & s" are really thankful for, are still looking over the films and contacting some other experts to look as well for anything that they might have missed.
what the doctor's deem "possible" as a cortex on the film seems to have calcifications covering the area, which most likely is a result of an infection while in utero and what might have caused his condition, but would make it impossible to treat. this finding would put him back with his first diagnosis of having hydraencephaly (sp?) and no procedure could be done to reverse it. so it doesn't seem he is a candidate for the procedure any longer but they have been asked to wait again, while other doctors are called in for second opionions. so they wait.
so as matt's family waits with the words "inconclusive" lingering around until more doctors can look at his results, they are obviously disappointed and sad. but "r" reassured me that as as hard as this rollercoaster is and how grim the news is to take if this "miracle procedure" can't be used with matt, their faith does not waiver. they are finding good things in this day as they were overwhelmed at the physicians they were blessed with today and how each one kept them encouraged and informed all while being very compassionate and caring for matt and his best well-being. they felt covered in prayer all day and are very thankful for a body of believers who would go alongside them on this rollercoaster of a day...
they will take him home within the hour i think and the kids are excited to see him and missed him today. so "r" is just glad to be able to get him out of the hospital and have him home tonight. she is mentally going back to "normal", whatever that is, ha...and glad to be getting matt home where he can be loved on and be comfortable...
they will wait to hear more from doctors over the next day or so, but for now are praying and praying God's will..and loving on sweet matt.
"r" wants to thank EVERYONE for their prayers today..

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry it wasn't better news, I will be praying hard for the second opinion to come back more hopeful, and for peace for everyone involved as they go through the waiting.
ReplyDeleteMay I post a prayer request for Matthew on my blog?
ReplyDeleteplease feel free to post prayer requests on your own sites..thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers continue for baby Matt and for the sweet people caring for him. Asking the Lord to touch his little brain and give him what he needs to go forward or to just heal him. Praying for wisdom in all decisions.
ReplyDeleteLove and Hugs, Laurie
we're still praying for a miracle of healing!! Baby Matt has already blessed lots of people and wouldn't it be an awesome testimony to those docs? We'll keep praying for the doctors that they won't give up and keep looking for chances. We love you baby Matt!!
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for baby Matthew and for the doctors, that the Lord will anoint them with a supernatural ability as they care for Matthew. I will post prayer requests on my blog sites too, especially on the blog that belongs to my daughter Emma (age 2 1/2) who is a "miracle baby".
ReplyDeleteThe Lord is in control...His hand is on Matthew.
