Update - 3/7/06
In recovery there are always good days and bad days. Today was not so positive for Matthew, but things will be brighter in the a.m.
A pocket of air got into Matthew's chest cavity during the procedure to check the cyst on his lung. This is not uncommon. It caused Matthew some discomfort and a little difficulty breathing and they put a tube in his chest to relieve the pressure. They are keeping him at University Hospital overnight to make sure he's OK. He should be going back to Rusk in the morning.
The doctors drained the cyst of blood and mucus which was as they expected. They will give a full report to Brenda and Erich on Wednesday after they do a culture test.
It has been a long day for Mom and Dad - started very early and alot going on all day. We pray Matthew and his parents have a peaceful night and that Wednesday is a great day!
"For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone." Psalm 91:11-12

Pastor and Brenda's plates are very full. Getting Matthew home and well is their top priority. Let us pray for his recovery, that is the most important thing. Again, everything is in the Lord's hands and THANK GOD FOR THAT!!!!!!!
