Matt stood up during therapy. After I got the picture, I was so proud that I cried. (Any one surprised?) He then sat in the wheel chair for fifteen minutes. Shortly after they got him back into the bed, Andrew left to go back home. Matt really enjoyed spending time with Andrew.
This afternoon, I spoke with Dr. Cohen. He let me know that the serum HCG test that was run last week showed lower HCG levels than the original one. This tells us that the chemo is working.
I am looking forward to seeing John, Lizzy and David this Friday. I have not yet told Matt. I am going to try to get a picture of his reaction when they come through the door of the hospital room.

Thank you to everyone whose sending cards... Matt really enjoys them!
Oh, I love surprises! I cannot wait to see Matt's expression when he sees Elizabeth and David walk into his room! What a great idea Noel!
ReplyDeleteAnd what great news about the chemo working already! I think that the road to recovery has begun for sure and that each day will show new improvements. We are already thanking God for Matt's continued progress. Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday! I'm sure that it's going to be bitter sweet for you Noel, but you truly need the break and the rest.
Love,
Gina
