Hello All....this is Patti. Just wanted to update everyone on Matt and what we can expect for the week. If you didn't already know, Matt was in the emergency room on Monday night cause he was having a hard time breathing. After some unsettling news, as of today, this is what we know. Matt has Pulmonary edema (excess fluid in the lungs), not cancer in his lungs as first diagnosed at the hospital. We are VERY greatful for that news. Pulmonary edema makes it very hard for him to breath and it can be very painful...which it is. Also, he has a blood clot in his arm. The oncologists feel that the med port is the culprit for the clot and are scheduling him for surgery to have it removed. Hopefully, they can get everything organized so he can get in there ASAP. Matt is feeling better, but he still is struggling with talking cause he has to take shallow breaths frequently. As for all of you that have sent your prayers.......THANK YOU. I also want to send out a special thanks to my family. They were coming out of the woodwork when Matt went to the emergency room. I think the "Capron" group took over the hospital waiting room. As for all our friends and family that have been there for us through this whole ordeal.....we love you all and will never forget what you have done for us. I want to send each of you a hug and kiss. You all will never know how much you mean to us. All I can say is LOVE YOU AND THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.
