Matthew spent the morning at church and was singing his little heart out. He continues having trouble with the vomiting. He is attempting to eat as much as possible; however, he just feels ill and nauseated. Matthew and the family spent the afternoon at Shenandoah National Park, one of Matthew's favorite places to go prior to his illness, unfortunately Matthew wasn't able to enjoy it this time as he was limited to enjoying the mountain air. Matthew's fighting spirit continues and he is determined to eat and enjoy everything he can, even if it's not the same as before. Today Matthew asked if he should have ice cream, in fear that he might vomit, I told Matthew to eat all he wanted and when he was ready to puke, that's what I was here for. He laughed and said "to bad I don't have my tape recorder to get this on tape". I promised to agree to puke clean up ,on tape and anywhere else I needed to as long as he ate. He ate his ice cream and enjoyed the entire cone, GO MATTHEW!!! As expected a few hours later it came up, but he sure enjoyed it going down.
There has been a problem with Matthew's guestbook overnight and all his messages were lost, let's lift his spirits by sending him uplifting messages. All your messages truly make a difference. I encourage everyone to help reach 100 guestbook messages by tomorrow, lets pass Matthew's story on to everyone you know and overwhelm him with love and support!
