Good Day
Today really felt like Matt may be on the upswing. They were able to take 2 of the chest tubes out, which did cause him a lot of pain, but it was much wanted pain. He was able to do 4 breathing trials: 30,45,1hr,40. The Dr Matt has had for the last week has been excellent, really pushing for Matt o get better and trying to give Matt as much hope as he can. Unfortunately he is a locum from Winnipeg and will be leaving tomorrow, but hopefully the ball stays rolling. Matt temp only went up once today,and it was 38.1. Not too bad. Swelling in his feet have gone down but now his hands are so swollen that it was difficult to do his range of motion exercises. Prayers that the swelling continues to improve. They will insert the PICC line in tomorrow morning and they hope that will help the swelling to go down, so Matt doesn't have to be poked for IV's anymore. Hard on the tissue for such a long time and the meds going into the veins are sometimes hard on them. Also had a good sleep from 1 am until 6 am. Doesn't seem like much to us but it is a big improvement on what he normally gets. Prayers for what we want are always good, but prayers for thanskgiving are needed as well. Psalms 86:12-13 "I will praise you , O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify you name forever. For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave."

Congratulations on the good day Matt. Wonderful to hear. We'll keep praying for the swelling to go down etc. Glad you finally were able to have 5 hours of much needed sleep. We'll pray that that continues as well.
Keep up the fight.
