Journal entry by Kanada Yazbek —
How does that saying go? If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.
This has been a long week (Yes, I am fully aware that it is not over yet.)
Matthew had a rough week, feeling icky however if you know him you also know that it doesn't break his spirits. It rocked him a little though if we are being honest. Or maybe it just rocked Kacey, Mom and I, we are worriers. 🥰
On Tuesday Matt had labs done and it showed that his kidney function and hemoglobin hit a low that the oncologist didn't care for. So, the game plan for that has been to get him infusions this week and hope that helps bring those numbers up. Now, if you have ever been through this you know that those are things that are always being monitored and this is not something that shocked anyone. It is just not ideal.
Then yesterday Matt was feeling a little under the weather and he did test positive for Covid.
We already determined that he isn't going to catch a break so if you are wondering that.. you don't need to.
That is our update and with all that being said we have been advised that Matthew will not be able to travel home to MN, not now. We are devastated to say the least and we could all use some prayers.
Thank you everyone and I want to say a special thank you to Kris and Brett for helping us with Matt's get together. We are just so blessed and the way people show up... Nothing short of amazing.
All our love,
Kana
