Health update
Please continue to keep Matt in your prayers. He has had an especially rough last week or two and is getting frustrated (you can't blame him!) with his health! He has been seeing a chiropractor who corrects his hiatal hernia and advises him on dietary changes and supplements to fight his symptoms. He saw a hematologist awhile back who confirmed to him that his blood counts are back to normal and what he is experiencing - restless sleep, fatigue, trouble concentrating, weird headaches - isn't from anemia. Tomorrow he is going to see a regular doctor who he hopes will order a comprehensive blood test that would tell him if he is deficient in any key vitamins or anything like that. On Thursday, he will be taking a food allergy test here in town. Depending on what those results are, he might try a more comprehensive test that is done through blood work. We are just having problems getting doctors and insurance companies to cooperate with that, so we aren't sure if it will happen. Later this month he will also be seeing a GI specialist. He is skeptical that anything will come of that, but it's good to cover all of the bases.
