WE ARE NOT QUITTING YOUTUBE, BUT... 

I'm chronically ill and have several invisible illnesses that mean I look fine but inside I'm in a lot of pain. Sometimes people don't understand that someone can look ok but be in pain which is frustrating. Matt the key is to pace yourself. Go and google "The Spoon Theory" and learn about how to spend your spoons 😊

Guys. Nothing but HUGE respect for this decision. You have to take care of yourselves. Hope Matt gets feeling better. You can see the teamwork and bond you have as a family, and that will get you through this!! We're with you!!

Thank you everyone for all your support! You are all so awesome, we love you!!

Absolutely health first! Matt get well soon!

We totally understand. We care and support you guys. Prayers for Matt to continue the healing of his body. God Bless 😊

Matt's health is first! I fully understand! Family first!!! Sending lots of prayers for all of you!!

take your time. your family is more important than RU-vid. i hope you get better Matt. will still be looking forward to seeing yall faces on my screen when ever yall Post!

This makes me sad, but just because I know I'm going to miss you guys everyday. A friend of mine got a head injury playing soccer that took many months to heal and he had a lot of bad days and days where he just couldn't focus on anything. It's definitely something that is just going to take time to heal. Matt take your time and I look forward to when you guys are at full force again :)

Thoughts and prayers for you Matt...healing vibes sent your way too! It requires a lot of strength to get through what you are going through and this is the right decision...your health is very important and that comes first! It requires a lot of patience and time to heal from this sort of injury and it's not an easy road, but you have so much support and an amazing wife and son! Your "police" family will also help you get through this as well! I was a 911 operator and police dispatcher so I understand the bond you build with that family...please get lots of rest and relaxation! We'll still all be here when you feel better! You guys are amazing! Never forget that :)

Totally get it....We all do. I suffer from severe migraines. I have ever since I was younger. I know how debilitating it can be and they come on fast! They take over your life! You guys take care of you and we will all be here. It will make a video from you guys all that much exciting. Even one video a month is perfectly ok :) Please look into Matt's Condition with a specialized doc. I would look into what people are saying in the comments. They always say you are yours and your children's own best advocate. Sending love and prayers from Wisconsin! Danielle,Jeff,Delilah and Cecelia

Amen to that! Praying Matt slows down to make recovery possible given the fact that head injuries are tricky to heal you all making a good choice to bring down demanding activity. Dillion needs him whole and we your subscribers understand. Love you guys!

Your family comes first. My heart broke when I saw Matt on the last vlog. He was as white as a sheet. Sure hope the Drs. can sort it out for him. Love your vlogs, but you 4 come first. I totally understand. You take care.

I will miss the daily dose of you guys but I completely understand that Matt needs to heal. I hope that happens very soon! I've been following you guys since the IUI days when I was going through the same and I'm happy to report I'm 6 months pregnant with a boy from IVF 💙 PS: Where is your beautiful headboard from?! I LOVE it!

Family first! No one can blame you for focusing on you! Your daily vlogs will be missed, but we understand!

Don't worry about disappointing any of us. Matt's health is so much more important. Keeping you all in my prayers! Get well soon.

I hope you feel better Matt. We totally understand about the vlogs. I really enjoyed watching your family everyday.

The most important factor is that Matt puts his health first. Vlogging can wait. I am happy whether I watch you once a week or seven days a week if it means you guys can concentrate on Matts health 100 percent. And don't worry about your subscribers. We will always support whatever decisions you feel is right for your family. Your an awesome family and Dillon just gets cuter the older he gets. Wishing you guys all the best. Peace, love and good vibes sent your way. ❤️

Get better, Matt! I totally understand and even more think that your decision to scale back is the right one. You clearly have your priorities straight. Looking forward to your next post and will keep your family, especially Matt, in my prayers. 💜

Don't be embarrassed or disappointed. RU-vid isn't remotely as important as Matt's health. And just because you aren't vlogging everyday now doesn't mean you won't be able to in the future. I hope you can figure out what's going on with Matt's recovery and start feeling better asap! All the best to you.

I really noticed how bad Matt looked in the last video. Felt so bad for him. Concussions are not an easy thing and I think you guys are doing the right thing in scaling back. Wishing you all the best!

Don't feel bad at all for needing to take breaks here and there from RU-vid, because it holds no importance compared to the health of you guys! Nathaniel and I are praying every day for Matt's healing and for your sweet family! Much love and well wishes! If we could be of any help, somehow, don't hesitate to message me! ❤

You don't have to apologize Matt's health is definitely more important. :) Hope he gets better soon.

I hope Matt feels better. Don't stress about vlogging everyday. You have to take care Matt and your family first.

You don't dessapoint us guys! we undertand your situation, so don't worry about it! hope matt feels better soon😘

We love you guys. Please stop apologizing to people for something you didn't do. Everyone knows what you are going through and understands. Just take time and heal. Time is the key. Patience goes with that.

There's nothing wrong with scaling back, you guys need to focus on Matts health. Folks will either stay or not, if they go then good riddance. Praying for you MATT, I had brain surgery three years ago and am still healing. It will get better.

Praying for you guys! Your subscribers will still be here, take time to heal.

I am going to miss see y'all everyday, but family first! I hope Matt feels better. Please do everything required to help his recovery process. The internet cares about your family; we want to see you all well and happy(:

Feel better Matt rest up and get whatever medical help you may need.

we'll all be here when you come back ❤ your family comes above all else.

Hope Matt is feeling better!

😢

god bless ya all

you guys have no reason to be embarrassed. we watch to see real life and if you habe to cut back to accomodate life we support that.

You guys need to focus on your family and Matts health first and foremost! I am praying for you guys! ♡

Take care Matt!! Please do some tests and scans or whatever for this lingering pain.. change the doc.. I dunno.. hope you get better soon! Health is the ultimate priority and nothing else is more important.. so, you guys just relax and recoup soon!! Xoxo- Sam!!❤️

his health is more important! I know I'll still be here and support you guys. ♡

prayers for Matt and you all...we will still be here. Get better soon Matt.

best wishes guys xx your health is your wealth xxx

Awww do not be sorry! You guys absolutely take your time and heal! I've written to you guys a few times and told you the SAME thing happened to me. Got in a horrible car accident back in August and still am suffering like Matt. Got the same thing...concussion. I lost my hearing in my right ear because the airbag hit me so hard on my face and I still to this day get migraines almost daily. They make me super sick. But I must tell you some of my things I found help me so much, acupuncture!! Have Matt go try it. I know it's not cheap but I was desperate. It truly helped the headaches lessen and I also turned to essential oils. Doterra oils to be exact, I have told you guys this before so sorry for repeating lol. I ordered the tension blend on Amazon. Helps me so much!! You got roll the oil where there's pain on your head. I hated the meds I was on so I was desperate to go the more natural route. Acupuncture and oils have helped so so much. I feel his pain:-( it's so horrible. I suffered a miscarriage from my accident as well. And the flashbacks are horrible, I now have bad anxiety being on the road. The other driver was on his cell phone and ran into me. I've followed you guys for so long, you guys are the reason I did Ivf, I had my first transfer back in January and it was successful but i lost the baby a few weeks ago so I'm going in for my second transfer in May. I started my own channel talking about my journey, inspired by you two. Thank you for your daily vlogs! I always look forward to them! I pray Matt heals and gets better soon. I always see him in the videos not feeling well and my heart hurts for him! I know the feeling all too well. Those headaches sneak up on you and you have to drop everything and go rest. I'm so sorry. Matt, you have an amazing wife that takes great care of you:-)! My hubby as well is a rockstar at helping me during my tough times:-( he was in the car with me and didn't get any damage physically. Just me:-( I live fairly close to LA like you guys and I swear those drivers out here are horrible! Be safe! Prayers to you guys!

Wow , so sorry to hear your not doing so well Matt. April and Matt , this is life and things like this unfortunately happen. I myself have been behind on RU-vid because I have been taking my dad for cat scans, MRI and x-ray's because the Dr is concerned with his routine lab work. I love your family it's such a blessing to see baby Dillon's milestones , but completely understand how important it is for Matt's health to get better. Will always be here to support you. Prayer's to your beautiful family 💚

Please don't be embarrassed. We all understand what you guys are going through. Every single one of us in your RU-vid family agree that you need to put yourselves first and foremost before anything else. Please don't feel bad! We will all be here whenever it is that you can come back. I will be saying prayers for you guys and hope that things take a turn for the better. Try and hang in there! We love you! Give Dillon smoochies from me💋

Agree with some of the previous posts. Hope you see doctors who really know how to treat concussions and to check for TBI. My brother in law had a concussion then TBI. He suffered for 2 years. You recover some and then something sets you back. Def scale back and try to be as stress free as possible. Hoping for healing for your family. It's tough on him but also tough on spouse.

Praying for You all, and we completely understand health and family comes first. Please research, be pro-active and hope for a speedy recovery.

Poor Matt. :(

Take all the time you need guys, your health is definitely more important!

You don't have to say sorry, April. It's alright and normal to want to focus on Matt's recovery. Hope he gets better soon. Don't stress about not being able to do the daily vlogs... I'd watch you even if it was only a vlog once in a while.

Will miss you but the main thing is you get better Matt! 💕

Mama Bear here totally thinks this is a good idea!! I will miss you guys and my little Dillon, but Matt needs to take it easy!!! we cancelled my trip because he is having such a bad time. Prayed for your healing tonight Matt...and also for Dillon's teething to be easier on the poor little guy...

I totally agree with the comments that say FAMILY first...health first.....do what you NEED to do...those of us who really care about you will be here when you return!! Find a good TBI...(which I do agree with might be happening) dr...and then you will be on the mend...Love you both!!

Hey there. just wanted to say DON'T WORRY ABOUT US! we will be fine and I'll be patiently awaiting your return saying that Matt is back to 100%. life is short. I know Matt has a wife and son that need him to be here, healthy and happy. I'll miss you guys. Take care of you! 💙💙

Hope you get better real soon Matt!!! Sending the sweetest RU-vid family lots of love and positive vibes.. Going to miss watching the daily vlogs but health always comes first!! So it is totally understandable. Squeeze those big chubby cheeks for me please!!!! lol... :) xxx

April don't worry about jumping the gun or anything like that. It's 100% understandable and in fact it would be weird if you put RU-vid ahead of Matt's health. I will pray for Matt's full recovery.

Get well soon Matt !!! Dont worry April im not going anywhere ;) l I remember the first video i ever watched was about ur "little peanut" ,and the beanie baby u got . xoxox

Oh no I'm so sorry to hear Matt is still not well, I think stepping back is a good idea because health is important, I'm sure everyone will understand don't beat yourself up you have to do what's best for your family. I pray for a speedy recovery for Matt and strength for April to help her boys when they need her the most 🙏. Take care of yourselves and hope to see a video from you guys when the time is right ❤ xx

Aww poor Matt. I totally understand! I've been getting headaches&migraines since I was a kid. Feel bad for Matt that it's taking so long to heal. We'll understand that you can vlog whenever you can and that it's more important to take care of each other.

Awe, that makes me sad! But Matt you have to take care of yourself because that's a first priority!! I enjoyed the daily vlogs but will look forward to the next one whenever that is:)

Hi April So sorry to hear about Matt, I hope he gets the best treatment possible and gets better soon. You take care too, having your partner ill puts a lot of stress on your relationship so I hope you have close family and friends to help you. Hope Dillon is doing ok and Xena , sending hugs to them and you both. My son was very ill at Christmas so I know how hard it is on a family, I have just been diagnosed with a hole in my heart too so I understand the strain and pressure every day life can bring. With all this going on life is hard enough so don't worry about blogging at all you need to get Matt better first as health is the most important thing without it you have nothing. So get yourselves sorted and best wishes and love to you all.

All the best !!! There is nothing more important than health. PS: I would visit another doctor, too. This sounds scary since a long time.

Praying that Matt gets better quickly and for both of you as you figure out how to make that happen. Definitely Matt's health is more important than how many vlogs you put up in a week.

Take care of yourselves 1st!! That's what is most important!!!! Get well:)

I will be keeping y'all in my prayers April. I will miss seeing y'all everyday but Matt please get your rest and get all the help you need to get better. Much love to y'all💜💜

Remember Healing is a process...It takes time. Lots of love and prayers for you guys.

Take as much time as you need! Please don't feel bad! It's important that Matt takes the time to fully heal and recover. Please take care!

So many prayers for you and your family and for Matt's recovery! Take care of each other xoxoxo

Take the time to heal. Family first! Take Care, Jill
