Another step back
Another difficult day. The pneumonia is still quite severe, and Matt had a very difficult time breathing. He gets quite anxious so they gave him some meds to calm him a bit. Also because Matt is so tall, they have to special order a chair for him, and it could be weeks. The neck brace is too small as well, but because he is not healthy enough he can not have one made for him at physio department. He is becoming quite discouraged, so please pray continuously for an ease in his suffering and that the pneumonia will settle down. Job 9:10-11"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted". Continue to write him in this blog, or directly to the Royal University Hospital and send him get well wishes.

Yes Matt, it's got to be tough. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through but God can do absolute wonders and we will continue to pray for you daily.
In Jeremiah 32:26 & 27, it says - 'Then the Word of th eLord came to Jeremiah saying, Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?'
Nothing is too hard for God and it's hard to wait on his timing. Hang in there. God loves you more than you can even comprehend and cares deeply about what you are going through. Just hang on to His promises.

Hello, Gustafson's.. You and Matt have been on my mind alot. That night was horrible for you, I can only imagine. You never once were off my mind. Kent and I hope that with each day things will get better but we also have to have a few slow downs in that road to recovery. Joanne one thing that I want you to remember( I go by this alot). God only gives you what he knows you can handle. I will be hard but you guys can do it. Matt you take care and give those NURSES hell out there. Thinking of you lots.. Kim and Kent Logan

hey matt,
heard about what happened, and was directed to the blog by my mom.
been checking back every day or two now, and it hits me hard man. just seen you at garrett's wedding when i was home and was super stoked to run into you man..and then i hear this..
so yeah, when i'm allowed to and when i can make it that way i'm gonna swing into stoon and drop by..
i know you'll make a turn around tho, it's gonna be take time and be hard but i know you'll pull it off. you got a bit of the fighter in you and all you need to do is stick to your goals.
not really sure why i'm attaching this at the end, but it's a quote i seen a while back and it came to mind..
" If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee.
sincerely, a friend.

hi Matt
thinking of you, remember "God is bigger than our trials!" and if He brings us to it, He'll see us through it!!
Hi to everyone else in the family too-Love Bryce and Yvonne
Gus, thinking of you man...you and your family are in my thoughts. Thanks for the updates...

Hi Matt and Family,
Hope you have better days ahead. I spoke to your mom this morning and got an update.
Back in the day, when there were very strict visiting hours for patients in our hospital here in Fun Pines, most often kids weren't allowed to visit. I remember going to visit my mom and because we couldn't go into her room we had to go to her window and wave to her.....I hope you get a window real soon!
They're going to need a Wal-Mart greeter at the door when they start allowing visitors to your room!!!
I know you have the strength to pull your self through.
Praying for you
Don, Anita, Aaron and Lindsy
Hi Matt,
We are thinking of you everyday...
We know that you will find the strength within to keep on fighting. Tough days lie ahead... you must remember to try your best to stay positive and keep smiling.
I was just thinking this morning about our visit with you in May, how Lexi went right over to you and held her arms up (like, pick me up already!!!) and she is just sooo reserved and a bit standoff-ish sometimes... but when she seen you and your smily face, she was instantly connected to you. Wow, how she just starred at you while you held her!!! That smile is so contagious! So with that said, keep your chin up buddy and keep smiling... it will keep you going.
We love you a bunch and are pulling for you out here in BC.
Looking forward to seeing you in August.
Take Care and God Bless..
Patti, Dino, Lexi & Levi
Matt

Hey Matt
I know there are good times a head for you and your family. The only way to go is up. You will pull through, like my Uncle Dave always says "What ever doesn't kill ya, makes ya stronger" and you were strong already.

Hi Matthew, we are always thinking about you and wondering how you are. We hear via the blog , that things are not getting better as fast as we want them to, but they will get better and that is what you have to focus on.So many people are praying for you and God does answer pray!!!! You have so many friends rooting for you too. Keep smiling and keep positive and soon you will be up and about. And Matthew if you are finding it difficult to talk to God right now, that is ok since so many of us are doing the praying for you. That was how I felt when I had my first cancer so maybe it will help you to know this. Lots of love, Auntie Ardis and Uncle Ken.XOXO
Matt: Hang in there - your doing a great job. Can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks. You are in our thoughts and payers. We love you..
Jo & George - Keep positive - Matt will do it.. Love You.. Bren
