I wanted to update everyone on Matty.
But first… I just want to truly thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your love, thoughts and prayers. I’m humbled. You’re never prepared for an emergency like this, and this shocked the crap out of me. I mean, SHOCKED the crap out of me (I’d use other words, but I’ll still be appropriate right now – as much as I don’t want to be). I have to tell you, what’s even remotely gotten us through the last few days so far is the emails, the calls, the tweets, the FB messages… the kindness of others. It’s been remarkable and truly I cannot express in words how much we’ve needed it.
Thanks everyone and please keep Matt in your prayers and thoughts.
Audrey,
Have thought of you often. When Kristin posted to the Manic Mommies website, I forwarded it to my husband. We are both keeping all of you in our thoughts.
Blessings,
Kristin
thinking of you audrey. thank you for updating your friends.
You have EVERYONE’s good vibes–Matt is in my prayers and I think he is SO lucky to have you as is his wife!!
Hi Audrey,
Continued prayers for your husband and you. Your strength shows in your video. Thanks for updating us all.
May God continue to give you strength, patience & peace,

You and Matt and your family are in our thoughts and prayers! It’s so good to know that he is recovering well and is progressing in that front! I have found that being an advocate and asking questions and making sure everything is right and on track is the best way to help “battle” it in your own way. I hope that made sense.
Much love, prayers, happy thoughts, good vibes, positive energy and healing toMatt, you, and the kids!
Glad to hear that he’s recovering well. This is great. I loved when you mentioned how he’s making you ‘laugh’, so so sweet… 🙂
Positive energy and ((((((healing))))) to your Matty and you…;)

We are not far from the hospital if you need anything, a stopping spot, a meal, a snack, anything. 15 minutes away…
I will keep checking in on your updates. Sending peace your way.

I’m so glad to hear he is feeling better and is moving around. We are continuing to send you lots of positive thoughts. You are a very strong woman – thank you for keeping us updated. Much love to you!
Been thinking of you and praying for a speedy recovery for Matt. Wishing you and Matt strength, courage and peace. He will be OK. Just breathe!!! xoxo
Thinking of you…
So happy to hear Matt is recovering well:) You guys are for sure in my thoughts and prayers for great test results and a speedy recovery!
Audrey,
When my husband was in ICU for a brain aneurysm, I also played that advocate and made sure everything was going as it should. The staff was great, but I think it is important to have someone watching out for any little thing that could go wrong, especially because YOU know your husband and you could tell quicker than anyone if something is wrong. And it also gives you something to do when you feel like there is nothing you CAN do. 🙂
You and Matt are definitely in my prayers continuously!
You guys are in our prayers! I loved the part where you said he is making you laugh….good sign 🙂 Praying for the biopsy report to be normal for Matt to come home soon!
Keep the faith Audrey. So many people praying for Matt and for you, too.
(((HUGS))))

Sending thoughts, prayers and well wishes from our family in Long Island to your beautiful family.
God BLESS you all.
You have an army of prayer warriors doing battle on your behalf.

Audrey,
Your husband has been in my prayers. I know this is such a tough time for you. It’s been a tough couple of months for our family and I’m dealing with my own pain right now, however I know what makes me feel so much better is to focus on praying for others and you and your entire family are in my heart.
I pray for God’s wisdom upon Matt’s doctors, technicians, nurses and all the medical staff who are personally caring for him. I’m praying for your supernatural strength and peace during this time. Keep standing in Faith because there is no place to be than that right now.
God bless you and your family.
Duong
Sending all positive thoughts your way. I hope he has a speedy recovery. Hugs to you all.
Audrey, thanks so much for the updates. You have been in my thoughts. So happy to hear that Matt is recovery well, and that you are asking for and getting the help you need.

So, so happy to hear the update. Sending positive and prayers your way. xoxoxox
My thoughts and prayers are continuing to go to Matt, to you, to the boys and to your parents and Jane (who I’m sure are on Boy Duty). You are amazing people and I’m so sorry that you’re facing this. I hope it’s over and gone quickly and happily, but until then, you’re getting extra-strength good vibes from a little corner of western New Jersey!
I don’t know you personally, but I’ve enjoyed following your Rhody Mama posts and info on FB. My husband and I are both praying for good news on the biopsy results and a very quick and full recovery for your husband. I’m so sorry that you have had to go through this scary situation, and I thank you for sharing your story and for reminding us to give an extra squeeze to each other and to our children every single day.
My thoughts and prayers continue for Matt and you and the boys. As you know, you have the most amazing family you could ever hope for and so many friends who love you and are by your side. Please ask if you need anything at all and find strength in the fact that so many people are praying for you all! xo
Praying for a good outcome on the biopsy results.
Still praying for you, Matt and the family. Stay strong.
Believe in the power of prayer–it does amazing things! Saying lots of “all will be well” prayers for you and your family.
You are a sweetheart and all will be well. It will be.
You and your family have always been so inspirational to me, So i am sending prayers your way and I truly have faith all will be well for you.
Hang in there—and I’m glad to hear you are accepting help! 🙂

Audrey, I’ve been thinking and praying for you and Matt continually since I heard the news. I’m happy to hear that he is recovering from the surgery so well but I imagine you must be going crazy with anxiety over waiting for the results. Just know that we all are praying and I believe all will be well with him.
You and your family are amazing. You’re always a blessing to everyone. And you all will continue to be blessed.
Huge Hugs!
Love you. Love that Matt is making you laugh. Keep up being his advocate – that is so important and after being on your team these past few years in our blogging & book world – I know he has the best partner in the world to be sure he has perfect care for his recovery. Stay strong. xo Col

Many, many prayers are being sent your way and it’s so good to hear that Matt is recovering so nicely!
Thinking of you every day. Here’s hoping that the results of the biopsy go as well as the recovery has been. Only good thoughts. All will be well.
Sending good thoughts and hugs your way. Will continue to pray for Matt and for your family that he is better soon
Matt and your family are in my prayers. Hope that he has a speedy recovery and all is well with his biopsy results. Good to hear he is in good spirits and I love his Facebook updates of his neighbor in his room.
Audrey,
I have been following you for sometime now but this is the first time I’ve written. You have been a big inspiration to me; being a mom of two boys and a brand new baby girl in November, I relate to a lot of your posts. I had stumbled upon momgenerations.com because I wanted to get some great fashion ideas but for mom’s. I loved how down to earth you are, realistic and the amount wonderful fashion sense you had. You have inspired me to become a blogger. It’s in the works but I want to put what I have to say about life as a devoted wife, loving mom, passion for life and enthusiast for food and wine. For this I thank you!
With this being said, being a wife and mom, I can relate to how hard these times can be. My husband and I have been through our share of scares and rough times but we have fought through them together. It’s wonderful that Matt has his humor and tries to make you laugh. I truly believe laughter helps you heal and stay sane! (My husband and I always laugh…it makes the soul smile.) I know what it is to stay strong on the outside and not ask for help while inside you feel like you’re going to break apart like pieces of broken glass. Somehow with the grace of God, the strength from family, the warmth from friends and the compassion from everyone around you – even people you don’t know, times like these start to get better. And you and your husband look at each other, without saying a word, and know that you will always be there for one another because you are ONE.
I will say a prayer for you, Matt and the boys.
Continued strength and LOVE!
All the best,
Lisette
What a great update!!! I hated that breathing thing too. 🙂
We are all pulling for you. ((I hope you can feel it!)) You have a RI Army of Mamas Praying for you! Amazing what that powerful energy can do 😉 So here is to hope, health and happiness… for all of you. Be strong. Be well. ((And Breathe- It’s the best medicine- those conscious breaths!!)) xx
Thanks for updating all of us and keeping us posted on Matt’s status. It goes to show what type of person you are Audrey to take the time to record a video during such a difficult time. Hang in there and I’m sending you tons of positive vibes from Chicago.
Hugs!!
Brooke and I dedicated our run to you and Matt today. We are sending you strength, love and the serenity to deal with waiting.
The waiting part sucks… but so good to hear that Matt is up and walking around and in joking spirits. A good attitude truly helps.
Still sending good thoughts and prayers.
When will Matt be released from hospital???
All will be well! Glad to hear that he is recovering well.
Glad I came across this. Will say a prayer for best recovery and good news for the results.
Prayer that Matt’s recovery continues to be so positive. Sending Prayers and Hugs to you and your Family. Best Wishes, Vicki, Indian Shores, Fl
