The other night I took time to chart Matthew's temperature for the month of August. I took a blank calendar and drew lines from the top of the bottom of the calendar right through the middle of each day to mark noon and the already existing lines marking the change of days represents midnight. Then I drew horizontal lines across the days representing degree marks from 97 to 105, 97 being at the bottom and 105 being the line just below the bottom line of the row of days above it. Then I just plotted all the temperatures that we have recorded at their respective times and it shows the undulations in his body temperature over time. I think that if I were to graph my own body temperatures over the same time there might be at most 2 to 2.5 degree variance and the line would be relatively flat. When I see the line that Matthew's temperature has taken I see just how unstable his body has been. It's kind of strange to look at it that way.

Seeing that just makes my heart cringe. He is such a trooper!
All those books look pretty cool - and the butterflies will totally keep him distracted a bit from what's going on - our kids are bugging me to order the kit again!
We are still praying for you!
