I wasn't able to speak to mom and dad until quite late, and I started to have doubts that yesterday had even happen. But, yes, Matt continued to show slight progress in the movement of his finger, doubting Thomas that I am! At first he had to really concentrate on what he was doing, constantly telling his brain to move his finger. By this evening, he was moving it side to side whenever anyone asked. Some of the nurses would ask him a second time, because it was just so amazing. The physio said his nerve conduction is probably reaching C8, which is even better. He was quite tired today with big rings under his eyes, from lack of sleep no doubt! They only did 2 breathing trials that totaled 2 hours. They also tried to deflate the cuff n the trachea, to see if Matt could talk, but it was too difficult today, so maybe again tomorrow. While he was up in his chair his blood pressure really went down, but he still managed to get outside for awhile. Dad said this evening when he went to visit, Matt said hi to him and fell into a deep sleep. Maybe a much needed rest. Continue to pray to and praise the Lord. Psalms 25:1 "To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul; in you I trust, O my God".
