Fries and soup

Matt had another good day. He was able to have a full fluid diet and then they tried fries at supper, they were harder to swallow so didn't have too many. He enjoyed the potato soup and ice cream, but the coffee was the best. Tomorrow he will get another frappa, will try strawberry this time. He did get to go outside for awhile and also did two trach trials. He was very tired this afternoon so did some sleeping. He got a Rider jersey and hat from some friends, was excited about that. Matt was happy to have company. He so enjoys the Nurses and staff they are all so good at making his day as good as they can. We are so thankful to them all. Psalm 105:1 states O Give thanks unto the Lord call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Matt is always happy to read all the comments on the Blog and says Hi to all.

Hi I am new to reading this blog and also new to Greenwater. I first heard about Matt in the Credit Union in Porcupine and read some printed entries there. There is also a group on Facebook about Matt. I will have to read back to the beginning to find out what happened to this handsome young man, and then I will comment further. You are in my thoughts and prayers...

Hey Matt

BRAVO!! Only by God's grace can we overcome any obstacle. My son never forget to pray for you even though he does not know you. He calls you the BIG MATTHEW since he has a little playmate by the name of Mattew.

God Bless
