Add a few....

Matthew Butterfield is doing well in his fight against bladder cancer... This was posted by the family on Matthew's CarePage:

We saw Dr. Brock on Wednesday and he was very pleased with Matthew's ability to empty his bladder. We won't see him again until after the next images(CT & MRI). These images will create our new baseline due to surgeries to watch for shrinkage, stability and NO growth. Those are scheduled for Feb. 21. I also learned that we have an apt. with a GI doc on March 10. Dr. Brock described the GI doc's manner and it sounded like he was describing himself. I even told him so. He said we were seeing the one he would want us to see. I asked what I should tell the GI doc. He replied, "Just tell him radiation." The spells continue but they are less frequent most days. Some are more severe than others. Praying he will eventually be able to take care of business without so much pain. We saw Dr. Collier Thursday morning for counts and a check-up. As long as Matthew has a port we will visit the clinic monthly to have it flushed. Dr. Collier said that we could schedule the removal of the port after these next GOOD scans.

Please continue to pray for Matthew to be healed and get back to the business of being a little boy again!

Mila tested negative for the flu this morning so they are moving her surgury up to sometime this week (It would have been postponed if she was positive for the flu again). She is on a portable heart monitor and Sarah says they are bored with the hospital but at least now they are able to take Mila to the play room. Pray the surgery will be quick and smooth and that Mila will recover well. She is such a fighter!!

Our girls are all sick (just an upper respiratory virus) but Ella's tummy is better so PRAISE GOD because she has been miserable!!

Continue to pray for everyone mentioned below. LOVE and HUGS!
