The butterflies hatched. We won't have to hear the question "When will the butterflies hatch?" anytime again soon. The butterflies were beautiful and the process of the change is amazing.
This past week has been good. Matthew has only had the fever three times since last Saturday. His muscles are much less achy and his energy seems to be returning. We still are prone to wonder when the next fever will come, but we take it one day at a time, thankful for all the prayers of our family and friends and grateful for every day that the fever stays away.
One of the new things over the past few days is the itchiness that Matthew has been experiencing. We're not sure exactly what is causing it, but some web sites that we have seen dealing with the tricanella spiralus have said that itchy skin is often one of the symptoms. I for one hope that the itchy skin is due to the healing process, kind of like the itch that comes when a burn or scab heals. I twisted my ankle a couple of weeks ago and noticed the other night that my ankle was itchy. I hope that the itch Matthew has is due to healing going on in his muscles.
