In a room...

It was a really LONG day of waiting at U of Chicago, but Matthew finally was admitted to the hospital in the early evening. The doctors are still trying to determine the cause of the current problems he is experiencing and will need to do a few more tests/procedures. After the day of sitting and waiting (which can be a bit discouraging), we were so thankful that he was put in a single room, and that he had a very kind and caring nurse. Matthew's mom is able to be with him for support as well, which is a blessing. The doctors gave him some pain medication and will be giving him a dose of steroids to help reduce the swelling and aching in his joints. He is having an x-ray of his belly tonight and tomorrow will have more cultures and some scopes. Hopefully these tests will provide the information the doctors need to proceed with a treatment. We are so thankful for the wonderful care & support from all of you....our family, friends, neighbors & work colleagues. Thank you for loving and helping our family through this journey!
