Matthew Meets WWII Pilot

Matthew met a WWII Pilot at the Museum of flight. He told lots of stories and Matt loved talking with him. Matt was shocked when he saw all the kids there just walking by him. Matt bought one of his books and the gentleman signed it and said "Thank You for taking the time to learn about some important history".

Ending the Birthday Week

Matthew had a busy week. He is feeling much better. We are keeping a close watch on him to make sure he is keeping hydrated, and if not we hook him up to IV fluids to make sure. Matt is tapering off some of his med's, so now we only take 16-18 different med's a day. At least we are out of the 20's on med's, it get's a little confusing. Matt has a GVHD rash that comes and goes, so we are still on the beclomethasone for now but he is off the prednisone!!! YEA!

More Pictures of Ted Nugent

Ted Nugent Is In Town For His Concert At EQ Casino

Matt has the GREATEST DAD in the whole wide world! We still don't know how he pulled this one off but he did. Saturday night we all went to Hotel Murano in Tacoma to have a private meeting with Ted Nugent before his concert. We were waiting in the loby and Matt was getting really nervous. Then there he was walking out of the elevator, Matt's heart dropped. Ted was such a gentleman, sitting and talking to Matt and family. He told us of a couple of hunting trips he was just on, one were he dropped a 700 pound bear with a bow. Matt gave him a picture of his last hunting trip 4 days before being diagnosed with ALL Leukemia. Ted Signed both Matt and Nicole's electric guitars, then we got lots of pictures with him. It was great that Ted took the time to see us, we know how busy he is. Matt is doing better each day, but we still worry about when that darn kidney stone will pass. We have a plan to follow so Matt shouldn't have to go back to the hospital, Mom is becoming a nurse. Matt will turn 14 on the 1st of August, we plan on a exciting week this week. We will post more soon. Lynn & Family
