Another Day
The am started throwing up again times 3. Ordered new anti-nausea medication because the Gravol isn't really working and it makes him sleepy. They will be putting the tube into his small intestine tomorrow morning. They will have to put him under anesthetic, so prayers that he will come out of it okay. Physio worked with him and states can feel the muscle in his right arm is strengthening. Matt also states he is trying to move his right leg because he has more sensation in that leg than in the left leg. He also had 3 breathing trails for total of 4 hours and did really well. They would have done 4 but they had an emergency. Mom feels his chest muscles are getting a bit stronger and he can cough up some of the mucus to the top now. They also had a psychologist in to assess whether Matt is depressed or not, and was impressed by Matt's spirit in such a situation. I found a quote in scripture that seems to be written for Matt. Hebrews 12:12-13 "Therefore strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. Make level paths for your feet so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed."

Hi Everyone,
We'll definitely be praying for the surgery that all may go well. So good to hear about the sensation in the right leg as well. Those are all good signs. Good to hear about the breathing increasing too. Hang in there Matt - you're doing awesome.

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much.

Hi Matt. I'm sure, as I write this, you are either in the OR or recovery room. I've said a prayer for you. I know you will do well. I had not read your progress for 1 week, and as I read back, I am soooo happy for you! The progress with your movements and your breathing are such accomplishments! You are truly amazing and such an inspiration!

Hello Matthew. How are things going today? I hope you were able to get the feeding tube taken out of your nose. Must be pretty tender by now. Maybe next week you will get the smaller trach put in and your breathing will be a lot easier. You are doing so awesome and everyone is so very proud of you. Have a great day and we will talk to you soon.
Love Aunty Sandy & Uncle Orest
