No More Infections, Please!
Today Matt had a swab taken to see whether he has MRSA, a relatively nasty infection that can be dangerous in patients like Matt. Apparently a patient 2 beds down from Matt had it, so as a precaution they want to make sure he doesn't have it. The results won't be in for a few days, so lots of prayers that the test results are negative. He did throw up after supper, but they feel it was from a nasty coughing spell so soon after eating. All that food gone to waste! Thank goodness for the feeding tube. He was up for over 2 hours in his chair and had tons of company, which always brightness Matt's day. Another high note was meeting the author of the book "Healing Nuggets". The christian nurse brought him in to talk and pray with Matt. Just a note: Matt hasn't had any breathing trials for awhile. They have lowered his O2 to 33%, the lowest it has been since the pneumonia. They want him to work harder all day instead of really hard for 1 hour and spend the next 4 hours recuperating. As a family, we would like to send out our gratitude to everyone who has donated money towards Matt's recuperation and recovery. The generosity of people is astounding and mom couldn't be with Matt without it. The light is shining bright throughout Saskatchewan and beyond. 2 Corinthians 9:7-8 "Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. An God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work".

Hi Matthew. How are things with you today? We are always happy to hear about those baby steps. You have come so far since your accident. You are amazing.
The men combined till 1:30 this morning. Not much going on today as we had some rain early this morning.
Shauna & I are hoping to come see you soon. It didn't work out for Shauna to come this week.
I will let your mom know when we are coming. Can't wait to see all of you.
Love Aunty Sandy

hey matt,
Sorry that I haven't been on here in a few days, but I have been moving and now started going to school again, so time hasn't been with me. We are praying that you don't get another infection, that would set you back to far after all the work put into get you to were you are now. Just keep moving forward, think about the good times, and will all keep praying for ya.
Your little buddy Brendan
