Rough day for Matthew!! Lots of pain with bladder spasms and seems to trigger chest pain with BP spiking enough to need EKG and nitro under the tongue. Dr with Cardio is going to take him Monday AM for another heart cath and see what is going on with those 4 stents~! Then, the urologist came in today to inform us that the type of cancer he has is aggressive and needs aggressive plan of attack. It is a transitional cell carcinoma, which is typical for most bladder cancers but, since it went into the muscle wall, he wants to follow up with more surgery, chemo and radiation. Matthew went into the hospital last Weds AM and looks like he is not going to be able to get out until Tuesday. Then, start the plan of attack on this aggressive type of bladder cancer. He has been is so much pain even with everything can do for him. Please keep him in your prayers! I know God has special plans to use Matthew in HIS Ministry!! Please keep Klyn in your prayers, also, as this has not been easy for her. She is still only 12 years old and has been thru so much before we ever got custody of her. This is very difficult for her to see her Grampy sick and not able to work. She is feeling very insecure!!
