News From Nolan
Nolan and Lindsay arrived this evening from Calgary. Matt brightened up immediately, and seemed really alert and happy. Nolan could not believe the progress Matt has made in the last 2 months since he saw him. He was stunned to see Matt move his fingers and big toe on his right foot. Matt was even able to put slight pressure with his big toe against Nolan's hand. Also, when Matt tried to move his left hand, there was no movement but he noticed Matt's bicep contracting, which is great. His right hand is also getting stronger. He can move his 4 fingers off the bed, and curl them up a bit as well. And the grip with his pointy finger and thumb is improving as well. Hopefully within the next few days, physio is going to rig up a sling that when Matt moves his shoulder, it will lift his hand. Such progress is great. Psalms 47 1 "Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy." Lots of continued prayers that the nausea will subside and he will be able to eat more. They even gave him some baby Oval, which Matt doesn't care for, but I think he is getting flashbacks from when he was a baby and we gave it all the time for 14 months! No trach trials again today, but Matt was really tired from all the Gravol. Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With The Wind would say, "Tomorrow is another day."
