June 23 *****WOW 58 POUNDS*****

We have been very busy and Aunt Vanessa has been slacking on the blog updates, but Matthew wanted me to make sure to relay this message to everyone. He weighed in at 58 pounds and is determined to make 60 pounds by the end of the day! This is very good news for everyone as we have been working very hard to increase Matthew's weight. Matthew is still having trouble with his platelet levels being low and bruising in his legs and now slightly in his arms; however, he continues to fight hard and eat VERY WELL!!! We are convinced that if he continues eating at this rate he will be rolling around without his wheel chair(LOl). Matthew has been busy hanging out with his family and was able to go fishing yesterday. He was happy to be able to fish from his wheel chair. He was very excited to catch two fish!!!
