Grandma Jan's camera

While Matt is infusing himself with some very strong antibiotics I thought I'd take this time to upload my pictures and talk about them on the blog.
Come to find out...I have not taken any pictures since the last post. But before she flew home, this morning, I copied Grandma Jan's pictures and will update based on them.

before I begin, a Matt update:
He's doing better. He is getting two different antibiotics a day via his PICC line. One destroys a "gram negative pseudomonas" and the other aims for a staph infection. They aren't sure which he has and aren't ruling out that he may have both. The dull pain/almost numbness in his left hand has gone away. (very good!) His left pec muscle and lymph nodes in his armpit are still very sore and inflamed. (not so good) He sees his doctor two times per week and is scheduled for 3 weeks of home IV antibiotic treatment. (each week costs us a small fortune out-of-pocket)
His doctors say they could write a case study about him. What's going on with Matt is very, very rare. Almost one in a million. We've decided to give up on playing the lottery since there is no way lightening could strike twice, right?

And now on to the last week as seen through Grandma Jan's camera.

Pictures of Farrah and Rachett...the new pups I've yet to meet.
I called Grandma Jan (Matt's Mom) almost in tears asking her to come.
This was when Matt was very, very sick.
She left behind the latest family additions and Grandpa Michael to see her son and help out her favorite! (only) daughter-in-law.

Matt must have sensed his Mom was on her way because in the middle of her flight to Atlanta he turned the corner and began to improve rapidly.

He came home with a PICC line and I got to give him his medicine.
(He's also able to infuse himself if need be.)

Tyler and Lauren celebrated Matt's homecoming and Grandma Jan's attention by busying themselves on the computers.
legos.com has so much to offer

they also played cardboard boats

While I took Matt to a Drs appointment Grandma Jan took Tyler to his 4 year old dentist appointment. She said he talked up a storm and did fantastic.

The day before G'ma Jan left Lauren had her dance class.
Lea is in the far left getting her hair done.

The last night with Grandma Jan was spent playing the Wii.
Lauren loves the Wii Fit bicycle game.

and Tyler loves to snuggle with his blanket.

Grandma Jan was a great help to all of us. She helped Lauren and Tyler feel normal during this ABnormal time in their lives and I believe she also helped Matt fight this infection just by being here. I hope y'all enjoyed the past week through Grandma Jan's camera.
