The day finally arrived. By 4:30 p.m. Matt was moved to City Hospital ICU via ambulance. He was having a rough day with his nausea, and was only able to sit up in his chair for an hour. But mom said when he got to City, even though he was apprehensive and worried, he looked brighter and was even able to eat soup, spaghetti, and some bacon, the most he has eaten in a week. We have waited so long it was a bit of a shock it happened just like that, no warning at all. But we will take it! It is a great move forward, but scary too. Matt and mom became so familiar with the comings and goings of the ICU at RUH, the staff were great, and now they are in unfamiliar waters. But the staff at RUH were very happy for Matt, and they knew City was where he needed to be so he continue forward in his progress. Matt's new room is big and private, and the ICU is much quieter, so hopefully he will get to sleep at night without the use of sleeping pills. Matt, the road ahead will be the toughest thing you will ever do, but with so many people cheering for you and the Great Physician by your side, you can't go wrong. 1 Peter 5:10
"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."

Wow Matthew! I got so excited when I read the news this morning, you would have thought I won the lottery. Actually, you did!!!
That is so good and yes your mom's cousin Chris at City has been waiting for you to arrive. He is one great guy (and nurse).
You are always in our prayers and you have so many more people praying for you. People you don't even know. I get asked by people every few days how my nephew is doing. You keep strong and remember to always hang onto Jesus.
Love Always Aunty Sandy & Uncle Orest
Good to hear of your move. You work hard and God will Bless you. The weather is not very nice but maybe that will improve. Seems we cannot start the day out with our update. The girls are up too late for me, so I have to read it in the morning. Look forward to the blog updates in the future. Go Matt! As far as the Riders, what can a person say??? Have a good one Matt.

Way to go Matt glad to hear you got moved, but be warned Brian says he will be back and you have to stop him, we had coffee with Brenda yesterday and she told me what Brian had done and his warning to you also, as I told your mom I look forward to an arm wrestle soon. Will be stopping in soon to see you at your new digs. Marty
Very exciting to hear that you finally got to move to City. I read the blog every day Matt, and think and pray for you often. I believe there are many good things to come. As for me I've been busy with university, got exams coming up already and it feels like I just got here.
Love Lanna
Hi Matt
So great to hear you are finally going to City. I was talking to a woman at work yesterday whose sister had an accident in July and has similar injuries to yours (she's at Regina General). She just wanted to let you know that they're thinking of you and understand what you are going through - well, not exactly but you know what I mean. They're thoughts are with you.
We love you and pray for you every day.
Shauna Dale and Jada
