We got discharged yesterday from the hospital, Matthew is so happy to be home with his family. He slept great, his bandages came off but we got some new ones on and he's just chilling. Continued thoughts and prayers are appreciated. Thank you all so much.!

So everyone we are being discharged from the hospital today.! Matthew is ready to go home. Still waiting on pathology which takes a couple weeks, but from surgery standpoint we are signed off.! He is walking around and more up and awake today so heading in the right direction.!

Spine MRI came back CLEAR! Amazing news.! Mattie is still a little swollen from meds and surgery but trending in the right direction. Oncology team and Neuro think Matthew will be cleared to go home tomorrow.!! We will know for sure in the morning, but keeping fingers crossed 🤞🏼. Thank you all for your continued love and support.! 

Matthew is healing well he does have a significant amount of swelling which the doctors say is normal, it's going to get worse before it gets better. Matthew will be having an MRI of his spine tomorrow just as a precaution. He walked around the hall a couple times and is now resting. We are out of the ICU which is amazing. Met with the Neuro oncologist we should have pathology in 2 weeks give or take.!

Matthew slept most of the night. He did pull his foot IV last night though which doesn't surprise me at all, he doesn't like them lol. Just called to get an update before I head there and he now ripped his arm line out 🤦🏻‍♀️. So I asked the nurse if we can switch to oral medication, so fingers crossed that's the case so they don't have to start another IV on him. I will keep everyone updated.! Thank you so much.!

Matthew went for an MRI this morning doctor said everything looks good. Matthew ate a little but of applesauce and had some juice but he's still been sleeping because they are keeping him relaxed to help with healing. His face is a little swollen and puffy, but above all he is doing amazing.! Thank you for all the love and support.!

Matthew is doing well a little groggy and hurting a little bit, but everything is being managed well. He is currently getting an MRI to see post op images. Here's a picture for you all. A little grumpy but I can't blame him.! Such a handsome boy.!

Surgery went smoothly, doctor was able to remove more tumor than he originally anticipated which is wonderful.! Matthew is resting for the night. Doctor said he is a strong boy.! Now we need to wait for pathology. I will keep everyone updated. Thank you.!

Matthew is currently in surgery. The surgery will be a few hours. He went to sleep like a champ, he's such a strong boy he's got this.! I will update everyone once he is out of surgery.! Continued thoughts and prayers are appreciated. Thank you all.
