5 year anniversry

It has been a while since I updated Matt's blog.

Well it has been 5 years since this all happened.  Matt is doing well and we have had no further issues.  I am happy to report that one of the things that he wanted to do he has done.  Matt has always loved riding roller coasters, but was not able to do for a while after the AVM ruptured.  Well I am happy to report that he took our sons on a roller coaster last summer, ok not just one roller coaster, but many roller coasters.  I was a nervous wreck, but all went well and Matt was able to get that one little part of his life back and that is another one of those milestones that helps us to know that everything is going to be ok in the future.  He has been back to the doctors in San Antonio a couple more times and still there is no blood flow to AVM.  We are so thankful for the doctors in San Antonio and for the guiding hand of God.  What a blessing it has been to see this miracle unfold over the past 5 years.

We have watched out oldest son graduate from high school and make plans for college this year.  We have also watched our youngest son complete 8th grade and he is getting ready to go play in a state football championship tournament in College Station this weekend.  These are all things that some people take for granted, but these are the things that Matt would have missed had it not been for a miracle from God and all of the doctors and caregivers that he has placed in our lives.  We count each day as a blessing and we look at each milestone that our kids accomplish as a blessing and we are lucky to be experiencing them as a family.

Matt I love you more than you will ever know and I can't imagine life without you!!!  I am so blessed to still have you in my life and I am so blessed to have walked through this miracle in life holding your hand.  Looking back at the events over the past 5 years some people would not call them blessings, but seeing the big picture and seeing the little things that have made this all possible I call them blessings and I call you my miracle.  Thank you God for my miracle and for saving my husbands life and allowing him to watch his boys grow up and for allowing us to spend our lives together.
