Diagnosis

This will be brief because it is from the hospital room. Matt's neurological issues are caused by a germinoma tumor in his brain pressing on his cranial nerves. The germinoma is a type of malignancy but we don't know the degree. His case is going to be reviewed by the oncology panel tomorrow. Hope to have treatment options (chemo, radiation) soon. I will share more later.

Please pray for Matt.

  1. Heartfelt prayers are being sent for Matt and your family on the New Orleans-to-Baltimore (and above!) circuit. Take care, Charlotte D.

  2. It seems as if it's getting closer and closer to seeing the enemy that Matt's been fighting for 6 months. The Lord has opened the way for all this to be found for a reason. Yea, God! You know you all are in my prayers. Jesus surrounds you with His Spirit of peace.
    Love,

  3. Yes, yes. Now things are clearer. After working in the neurology department at "old" Charity Hospital for years, I never stopped being amazed at the miraculous healings I witnessed daily; so I never give up hope. I thank God for this light that has been shed on Matt's situation and send prayer and blessings for Matt and you all to have the strength to fight this fight. May the Lord send you peace and wisdom.
