Update - 9/2/09

Good news - Matthew is home and did not have to spend the night in the hospital. The rest of the news is uncertain. Tests will be run on Matthew's blood to see if there is anything missing in his system that impedes his healing process. It took 10 months for the hole in Matthew's stomach to heal the first time around and it should have only taken hours. So, now the doctor is working to find out what caused the hole to reopen. At this time, they are not concerned about an infection.

Please continue to keep Matthew and his family in your prayers, especially his mother is burning the candle at both ends to care for Matthew 24/7.
