Update on Matt Davis

(PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY.)


Dear Friends and Family,


It has been a little while since our last update, so we wanted to check in with everyone. Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support. We are very grateful, and we know that God is working! Matt went back to the Retinal Specialist two weeks ago. The doctor said that there hasn't been much change in his eyes. The hemorrhages are still there, although the blood flow is better. The doctor thinks that his body will absorb the hemorrhages once all of his blood levels return to normal. Matt will go back for another follow-up appointment in two months. His vision is about the same. It really doesn't affect his everyday life at all, but we are still continuing to pray for complete healing. He had a check-up with the Oncologist three weeks ago, and this was the first time that almost all of his bloodwork was within normal range!! His platelets are a little low, but the doctor is going to monitor that. She didn't seem concerned. She was glad to see that his white cells, red cells, and hemoglobin were all within normal range. Matt is doing great! His energy level is keeping me on my toes. :) He is playing basketball a couple of mornings a week, as well as ultimate frisbee on Sunday afternoons. We continue to pray for healing every day and ask God to use us to touch others. Thank you so much for your prayers and support!!!
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4
Love,
Matt and Julie
