Hello everyone! It's been a few weeks since our last update, so we wanted to briefly share what we've been up to and how things are going. This will likely be our last update on Caring Bridge (knock on wood), so on behalf of Mom, me, and our entire family, THANK YOU ALL for your incredible support and encouragement throughout this process. We're so fortunate to have you as our family and friends.

Marie and Matt are both healing well. Matt had a one week follow up and was told he didn't need to come back for 4 months! Marie's follow-up appointments continue, but are far less frequent. She got her staples removed last week, and next week will get the stent removed!

Matt returned to work today (Monday, July 9) after 4 weeks out. It feels great to be back, and I found these beautiful sunflowers on my desk from my coworkers.

Marie is back at her own apartment, and doing great. She even hosted her brother and sister-in-law, Herb & Rena for a week! Below is a pic from their visit.

Hope you all are having a wonderful summer. Thank you again for the cards, prayers, notes, phone calls, visits, and meals, which kept our spirits high over the last month!

Love,
Matt & Marie
