Rough time for Matthew

Matthew has been diagnosed with C diff. C diff is short for Clostridium difficile. It is an intestinal infection which can be very serious. He is now taking antibiotics and will be on those for 14 days. Pam and Jim noticed that the last few days he had not been feeling well so the nurse did a culture and it came back positive. But today he seemed to be feeling a little better. The doctor also told them to give him buttermilk and yogurt (thru the feeding tube) to promote the "good enzymes" in his system.

So keep remembering him. Thanks for your prayers!
