Putting on weight
I am not sure how Matt is putting on weight, he sleeps until 3:00 pm! Dad usually goes in the morning to feed Matt his breakfast, and was a little upset that Matt slept through it. I think Dad enjoys feeding Matt as much as Matt likes eating! Mom did say they are continuing to feed him through the tube during the evening and nighttime to make sure he doesn't start to lose again. But those frappes that mom gets him have over 600 calories, so a few more of those and he is set. Regarding the infection, it is a urinary tract infection and they have to change Matt's catheter. It is extremely painful and Matt doesn't want it done, but it is the best way to prevent the infection from getting worse. Lots of prayers on helping Matt with the pain. Mom also said that though he isn't moving anything different since yesterday, those movements are getting stronger. Keep it up Matt! You have a whole country cheering for you, from Nanaimo B.C. to Newfoundland, plus an all star international squad as well. I read a verse from an e-mail I received from Esther and Henry Penner in Yorton about Matt. Lam. 3:22-23 " Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."

Go Matt,
You have people praying for you in Orlando, Florida too!!
Check your site daily, Continuing to pray and I'm believing the verse "Take up your mat & walk"
Kind of a play on words but our God is a God of miracles.
Stay strong Matt, God will not allow anything you cannot handle, He believes in you and Loves you dearly.
Hi Matt,
I am sorry to hear about the infections, but as before, you will beat these ones too. Shelley sent me the video of your fingers moving, I was moved to happy tears! I am so pleased to hear of your progress with your eating, bathing, going outside, fingers, wrist, arm, toes and leg movement!!!!!! This must be so encouraging to you and your family! I just have one question regarding the manicure and pedicure....no colored polish (I hope!?) Nurses are known for their practical jokes (right Shelley & John?)

Hi Matt
No additional movements today? Matthew, what are you doing???? HA Glad to hear they're fattening you up!!! You can only get stronger. Would like to come visit with mom next week or sometime around then...but would like to find a sitter for Jada...she's a little too active and I don't think they want her crawling around ICU!!! Praying that your infections clears up!
Love you, Shauna
