Update 8:07 PM- Thank you to all who have signed up to visit Matt. Going forward- Please call Matt's cell prior to your visit due to the information I am about to provide. Sometime tomorrow, they are going to place a balloon pump in order to help ease the PA pressures. He will be required to remain completely flat for the duration as long has he has this pump in place. From what I understand, this pump will beat every other heartbeat for Matt in order to give his heart a rest. This will hopefully bring his PAP number down so that they can put him on and LVAD (Left Ventricle Assist Device) as a bridge to heart transplantation.
Update 11:37 am- Email from Jenny-Tim said he's good just tired. He has lost 4 liters of fluid. I think that's
right, it was a lot. So he was up all night and his IVs were beeping all
night. Tim said it was so bad that they started dreaming that things were
beeping. They are upping some meds to get his
heart rate down and also giving him potassium. Just trying to do what they can
to get fluid off and heart rate down.
THANK GOD FOR TIM! Guys pray for Tim as well! I am sure he is tired. He spent the night with Matt last night and is a true blessing to our Family.
Update 8:55 am- Matt had a bit of a rough night. He lost a lot of fluid, which is good, but it is exhausting. It also affected his K levels so they had to put him on intravenous K. His heart rate has also increased. We need to continue to pray for his PAP numbers to come down as well as his heart rate.

John, You can call Aimee. I am a teacher and use this login for my students - Hence "Mrs. Darwazeh". As of right now, Matt is good, but I will be sure to let you know!! Thank you so much for your offer.
DeleteMatt, we're thinking of you and praying for you here in Seattle. We read a bunch of dumb Harry Potter jokes on Saturday that we though you would enjoy.

DeleteI read the one your Mom put and Matt thought it was funny.
Mrs. Darwazeh I don't have anyone contacts. I worked with Matt at Publix for many years and he came my Mom's funeral. Saw him few months back Zaxbys and looked happy as always. Anyway, if possible could I get his cell and whoever else may need see what he needs. Its no issue to take care of. Just email me if that's ok Johnniebad@hotmail.com Thank you. And to Matt, take care hope you have a better night.
