Update and redirection to Di's Blog

Hello faithful readers of Matt's blog. This is Diane, Matt's wife. I understand there has been some confusion regarding Matt's condition, as his last post states he is doing well. In fact, Matt was responding well to the transplant and was set to be discharged to a Kevin Guest House apartment on July 12 at 3pm. Unfortunately, he developed acute Graft Versus Host Disease and remains in the hospital. The graft is the donor and Matt is the host. Matt's donor's stem cells are severely attacking his intestines. This has been a huge and courageous battle for Matt. The outcome here is still questionable and Matt's resilience, hope and determination are truly remarkable and I have never known a stronger person. I hope you continue to pray for him, as he needs all the help he can get. I have been blogging since he was not able to do so and you may find my blog at

Well wishes, funny stories about Matt, anything, can be posted in the comments section on my blog and I will read them to Matt when he is awake. He sleeps most of the day and night. I thank each and everyone of you for your continued thoughts, prayers and support of Matt. This has been a very difficult challenge for Matt and his family.
Diane
