Summer Has Ended?


We have had alot of strange weather this summer haven't we. Matt is doing good these days, he spends his time getting caught up in school with a wonderful tutor Sumner School District has provided for us. I talked with his high school team to see what our options are for 9th grade. We found out to keep him on track he will need 4 of the 7 credits in 9th grade. We are going to keep him out of school probably the entire year because of his immune system, and needing to get all of his baby shots again next February. Now back to the school issue, It's my understanding that school is supposed to be FREE to students, and a high school education shouldn't cost money. But when you have a child that is going through CANCER and can't attend school for medical reasons it dose. They want 120.00 per 1/2 credit to do his schooling on line from BYU. Now what's wrong with that! I think we are going to be writing some letters to Olympia. We are a little behind on pictures of Matt, we will post more soon. Take Care to All. Lynn & Matt

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!
