Breathing better
Thanks to everyone for all their prayers. God answered the one to ease Matt's suffering. He is back to breathing 55% on his own and the ventilator at 45%. His temp stayed down all day and he is much more relaxed and comfortable. Dad said he was quite exhausted from yesterday and is resting as much as possible. Another answer to prayer, they found a neck brace from the Abilities Council in Saskatoon that fit Matt's giraffe-like neck. Who knew their is someone out there like him! Matt 21:22 "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer".However the saga continues and we are standing by him day by day. Thanks to everyone for the messages of encouragement.

I was so relieved to read the blog tonight and see that today was much better than it has been. I check in here every day to see how things are going, and just seeing a tiny bit of improvement is great news, and so happy that they have been able to find a neck brace. That will also be a big help. Keep your chin up and fight the good fight, Matt. You and your family are in my thoughts every day, and I check this site out every night, hoping to see just a small bit of improvement. Keep on fighting, and you will overcome.
Love, Lynne Thorpe

Hi Matthew, we were so sad to hear about your accident. I wish I was there to help you pass the time. I have lots of things to talk about that will have to wait till later. In the mean time I want to say that we love you and that we pray for you many times a day. What doesn't make sense now -will one day. I would also like to say that in spite of what happened- Jesus loves you! Love Auntie Evelyn, Uncle Hugh and all your Cousins in Edmonton.
Hi Matthew. We were so happy to hear you had a good day yesterday. I hope you have many, many more of those. Every tiny bit of improvement is a blessing. It is quite hot out today. Uncle Orest & Trevor are busy spraying crops today. We are going with some friends to the Nipawin Dam tomorrow. Should be interesting.
Take care and we will see you soon. Shauna and I are coming to visit one day soon.
Love Aunty Sandy & Uncle Orest

Hey Shelley and Matt
God is with you here in Red Deer. My family and I continually add Matt to our prayers. Even when life seems to hard to handle; keep faith' God is always there to keep us going. Remember, all our lives are lived for a purpose; we need to always have faith that God is in control and will lead us to Him.
Love the Nowochins
