Fiesty Matt

Matt had a bit of a difficult night, very restless and unable to sleep. He is getting stronger in the neck area and was tossing his head back and forth. The nurse told him to calm done or he would pull the ventilator out. Sure enough that is what he did! Think it gave him quite a scare!
Dad said when he went to visit Matt, there was a fellow in the next bed who's 1 year old came to visit him. Dad noticed the boy was playing peek-a-boo behind the curtain. He soon realized it was not with him but with Matt, who was lifting his eyebrows and rolling them, which the little boy thought was quite funny. Little children are not hindered by what they see. He could see past all the tubes and see Matt as he truly is. Let us all see Matt this way Romans 8:25" But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience."

Hey Matt & family! God bless you all in this time, and our prayers are with you all for a fast recovery. Here's hoping you're feeling well enough for that tube to come out soon! Keep on keepin' on, buddy! You were always such a strong and defiant guy in high school; I'm sure you're no different even in this situation. You will come out on top, triumphant and brave! You're truly an amazing guy, Matt! Stay positive, cuz we want to see you smiling!! :)
