Matthew Kurz - Updates & Prayers

Periodic updates on Matthew's condition and ongoing prayers and words of encouragement for Matthew and his family.

February 21, 2006

Update - 2/21/06

Matthew's liver count is a little high and the doctors are a little concerned. Please pray that they discover the cause for this elevated count and are able to correct it for Matthew's sake.

On the positive side, Matthew's girlfriend, Paige came to see Matthew yesterday. He squeezed her hand and stayed focused on her the whole time. As a "birthday present" to her before she left, he waved goodbye by raising his left hand a bit and moved his index finger back and forth. Wonderful!

For some time now, Matthew has been yawning but it's been an involuntary opening of his mouth. The therapists were working with him yesterday to open his mouth on command. He was able to open his mouth about a 1/2 inch on command, and then later in the day Brenda saw Matthew working on it on his own and trying to open his mouth several times.

Brenda didn't have the results of the latest CAT scan when we spoke this morning and our phone conversation got cut off so I'll update you on the rest of the information later as soon as I can get a hold of her.

Thank you for your continued prayers!!!!!!

    Matthew has had some surgeries and sometimes peoples liver enzymes will elevate because of the anesthesia. They can ask the doctors.PLEEEEEEEEASE don't take my word on this.
