Matthew Kurz - Updates & Prayers

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

September 18, 2009

Update - 9/17/09

Well, the bad news is that Matthew has to have surgery on Monday, Sept. 21st. The doctors will be cutting out the portion of his stomach where the feeding tube used to be and then will staple the opening in his stomach closed. He will be hospitalized for several days and be on a very bland diet. There is concern that the shunt from Matthew's brain to his stomach could be disturbed, but we pray all will go well.

The good news is that the blood work came back with excellent results. Matthew is healthier than they ever anticipated for a brain injury victim.

Tomorrow (Sat., Sept. 19) is the walk-a-thon in Sedalia for the Brain Injury Association. If you have registered for this event - hope you have a WONDERFUL time and please find Matthew and greet him. He loves to smile and laugh with people!

God be with you!
