Possibly Another Move

Matt had 4 breathing trials. 1st was unsuccessful, crackles in the lungs, suctioned for large amounts of mucus after 1 hour long chest physio. 2 trial 30 min, had another chest physio and was much better. 3rd trial 30 min with suctioning of more mucus. last trial tonight was again unsuccessful, Matt was quite anxious and they feel the trial was too late at night. He did have a hair cut last night and mom says he looks good. A bad day was had by all emotionally though. Like marathon runners, a brick wall hit. Matt may be moved to City Hospital tomorrow due to the fact the Long weekend is approaching and they are a max capacity. Matt does not want to go, feels comfortable where he is because he knows so many of the staff. Phil 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God".

Hi Matt--sounds like the cleaning staff will have a job---just keeping rooms ready for you!!! Maybe there will be a good looking nurse at City-a young one!!!I hear you got a haircut-Kelvin needs one in this heat-he's pounding nails at Hudson Bay with Jeff Litton-well actually he's sleeping right now-I'm a night hawk! Take care!yy

Hi Matt

Change is scary but sometimes for the best. There was a post on your Facebook group from Chris Relitz (distant cousin) and his comments were that if you got moved to ICU at City he is an RN there and his words were "there is a friend here".

We think of you constantly and always throw little prayers out there during the day.

Wow - a haircut! I won't recognize you the next time I see you.

Don't worry about your move to City Hospital. I hear they have an excellent rehab centre there and that might be just what you need. Leave it all in God's hands.

We are going to Weekes tomorrow. Can't wait to see Grandma. I haven't seen her since June.

Hugs from us all. See you in a couple weeks.

Love Aunty Sandy & Uncle Orest
