"From Fear to Gratitude: Katie Shares Husband Matt’s Health Scare and Recovery Journey"

It started with a sharp pain in his side.
Just four days ago, Matt, the husband of Katie, mentioned he was experiencing severe discomfort. What initially seemed like a minor issue quickly escalated into something far more serious. Trusting her instincts, Katie urged Matt to seek medical attention — a decision that may have saved his life.
Matt visited urgent care, hoping for simple answers. Instead, he was immediately redirected to the emergency room. The diagnosis: multiple blood clots in his lungs and legs — a potentially life-threatening condition that can develop suddenly and without warning.
The following days were filled with fear, sleepless nights, and endless tests.
Katie, visibly shaken but strong in spirit, stayed by Matt’s side through it all. “It was terrifying,” she shared. “There’s nothing more helpless than watching the person you love be in pain and not knowing what’s next.”
But amidst the fear, there was something else — gratitude.
Katie credits the exceptional medical team at Hoag Health (@hoaghealth) for their swift action, expert care, and compassionate support. “We are beyond grateful for the incredible care Matt received,” she wrote in a recent post. “The doctors, nurses, and staff treated us not just as patients, but as people. That made all the difference.”
Today, Matt is finally back home. Though the road to full recovery is still ahead, he’s surrounded by love, medical support, and a renewed appreciation for life’s fragility.
Katie’s message is simple, yet powerful: “Hold your loved ones close. Listen to your body. And never take a single day for granted.”
As Matt begins his healing journey, Katie and their family are asking for continued prayers, kindness, and encouragement from their community — because sometimes, healing takes more than medicine. It takes heart.
