Not a great day....

Matt didn't have a good day today as the vent tube is really irritating his throat and every time they move it to another location it causes a lot of gagging. He is very frustrated with not being able to move. They keep him very sedated, but he still has a hard time sleeping. He is very tired - the Nurse said when Matthew is laying in bed he is using as many calories as a marathon runner. Time passes very slowly for him. However, he enjoyed watching some of the RoughRider game with his sister and was glad of the win. We will keep you updated. Please keep him in your prayers.

Sorry that Matt is having such a tough time with that tubing. I know it's extremely uncomfortable and hopefully he can have it removed sooner than later.

Just to let you know that we prayed for not only Matt this morning at church but you as a whole family. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't check out the blog to see how things are going. We're glad to see that you've set this up so we can get the reports daily.

With our love and prayers,
The Hertz family!

Hi Matt,

I play ball with Jacki and I too have heard lots of stories about you....(don't worry they're all good!) I think I met you when we played ball in Saskatoon too. I was so sad to hear about your accident but just wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers. Please try to keep a positive attitude about your recovery it really does help, keep working hard at getting better and lean on your wonderful family for support.

Love, Maggie :)
