Well it all started this AM 6 am with Matt getting sick I just thought it was from a rough night out, I was up waiting to go crabbing with his brother Mike.
He got out of the bathroom in terrible pain in his abdomin so off to the ER we go ,so after being in the ER for 8 hrs he needed emg surgury to have his right colon and 12" of intestine removed ,it's what they call Chrons disese
He will make a full recovery & will be in Tobey Hospital for a week and out of work for a month.
Were so lucky that we caught this in time we could have lost him he had so much poison in him.
He had a Dr's apt tomorrow about stomach pain.so much for that.
This kid has been through alot, hopefully this young man gets all this behind him and lives life the way a 20 year old should, I haven't even got him on the boat once this year
