Update on Mathew Murphy

Well I guess I gave you the wrong information the other day about the shunt being put in Matt's head, they were saying they might have to put one in but so far haven't... Thats good. I got a text from Mathew's mommy saying he has been having seizures every 10 minutes so on Tuesday he is having an Angeo Gram done and hopefully we will know whats wrong with little Mathew. Today Matt is having a good day his mommy was saying, so full of smiles.... It is such a blessing to hear he is doing good and smiling

Another update on Mathew... Not much has changed since his MRI on the 24th. The doctors put a shunt in his head but im not sure if they did it today or yesterday but hopefully this procedure they did will help our Precious Mathew get better... His Grandma said he acts like nothing is wrong attitude wise but he doesn't sit, stand,crawl you know the normal things 7 month olds do and he can smile a little bit now but if you look in his pictures his left eye and the left side of his mouth droop.. Poor Matt, I hope he gets better soon. The family appreciates all the love, support and prayers that everyone is giving, please continue to do so... Later today or tomorrow im going to post pictures of Matt I took a month ago, they are so cute and he is so precious

Pictures of little Mathew

I got these pictures a few days ago and anf forgot to post them. Its so sad to see him in this condition. If you know Mathew then you would know that he has always been such a happy baby and active, he never really cried.

Family Fun Night

Jared, Anthany and Casey.... Jared doesn't like to smile and Casey has a messy chocolate face

Me and my boys..... I LOVE THEM. I always have so much fun with them even when they are being little terds... LOL. I don't usually have any problems with them, they like to sometimes push mommy to the limit but its rare

Dad and his boys..... Thay always have so much fun. Daddy likes to play rough with the boys, he says it so they become though.... Anthany's smile is so cute in this picture :)

Last night was so fun, I had bought some frozen pizza from my son's school fundraised so I cooked a pizza and baked some cookie, they were so yummy. I decided to get my camera out and start taking some picture because Brandon Rickman who is in Iraq fighting for our country asked me to take some and and post them on myspace for him to see so I did. These pictures were my favorite becaue my little boys are just like their dad and they adore their dad...... SO SWEET..... I love my family and I couldn't have asked for a better one. I would love to have FAMILY night every night. Im going to take more pictures and post them on my blog but I think I need some help because im afraid im going to mess my blog up.

Praying is all we can do at this point

Im thinking maybe I should just wait untill the end of the day to update you on Matt because if I don't Im going to be doing this all day

Well I talked to Elizabeth's mom who is also there with Matt and his doctor is trying to avoid the whole shot thing because he/she doesn't want to get sued( thats my personal opinnion). Matt hasn't had anymore strokes but they haven't been able to get the seizures under control so they upped his meds.
Matt could be in the hospital for 2 months, 2 years or even the rest of his life, or they could all the sudden find out what is wrong make him better and then go home soon but who knows. Elizabeths mom says that the doctor said they better find out soon or he won't have much of a brain left... I don't understand why it is so hard to find out whats wrong with him and to fix him, My heart is breaking because Elizabeth has a special needs son who she loves with all her heart but it is so hard on her and then here comes Mathew who was so healthy at birth and so lively, active and loving and over night with on shot just take a turn for the worst. I believe with all of my heart that our Heavenly Father has a plan but it just seems this shouldn't be Matt's plan. If Matt is meant to be with Heavenly father then I will question it anymore it just means he is that special and that perfect but I also believe he will get better and be able to come home soon...

Update on Matt

Well I talked to Elizabeth and Matt's MRI results came back and he has gotton worse, I guess the swelling is worse and the lesions are worse. Elizabeth wasn't able to talk at the time so I will have more details in a little bit. This poor little boy is fighting so hard and it really is so sad to know that the doctors may never find out why this was caused

Sleeping Disorder

Well My 4 year old son Jared is always up and it seems I can never get him to sleep before 1 or 2am, even if he doesn't take a nap he just doesn't sleep at night. Tuesday night I went to sleep early because I didn't feel good Brandon said he would try to get him to lay down. Brandon comes in to bed at about 11pm and says,'' I think Jared has a sleeping disorder.'' My heart started pounding, not really what I wanted to hear knowing if I take him to the doctor they are just going to put him on sleeping pills and I don't want my son started on those and depending on them to sleep so i probably will take him to the doctor just to see what he thinks. If anyone knows what to do about this please give me some ideas

Precious Mathew Murphy

September 16, 2008 my good friend Elizabeth took her son Matt to get some baby shots, after they got home he took a nap when he woke up later that day Elizabeth noticed that something was wrong. Matt couldn't sit, crawl, smile or even make little baby talk Matt was pretty much unresponsive. Elizabeth took him back to the doctor who gave him the shots and noticed something really was wrong he was flown from Showlow hospital to Phoenix Childrens Hospital. Matt has had several strokes (that was the cause little motor skills) he also has had several seizures. An MRI was in ordered finding he had swelling on his brain and also lesions doctors do not know why the shots would have caused this so right now Little matt is being is being closely watched . I got a text from Elizabeth yesterday ( 09-24-08) that matt is running a fever and then a little later at 11 am, Matt had another seizure and doctors are saying they think he is getting worse still not knowing what is going on also not knowing if our little Matt will even live. Matt could be in the hospital for a while but the saddest thing is that why don't the doctors know whats going on, poor Elizabeth not knowing if her baby that she wanted so bad is going to survive this. We all need to pray for her family as well as other familys who are probably going throught the same thing.... I will keep you updated as I am
