Matt sure enjoyed seeing little niece Amy today. She looks at him with her big eyes and smiles, and Matt just grins. He really wishes he could hold her.... He's also a little jealous because she's started to roll. Our goal is for Matt to be walking when she does. Keep praying - Acts 3:6 "...In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk".
So, overall not a great day, but better than yesterday. Although he didn't throw up this morning, he did throw up this afternoon again which is very tiring. We now fear that that he once again has pneumonia due to some of the vomit getting in his lungs (aspirates). A culture will be sent tonight and we will know the results tomorrow. Please pray that we are wrong and that he doesn't have pneumonia, but if he does, that it will be dealt with quickly and effectively. Psalms 46:10 tells us to Be still, and know that I am God. Besides a "down" afternoon, Matt was pretty bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this evening and was able to visit, laugh, and talk about food (he hasn't eaten since Wednesday, but feels he'll be ready for food tomorrow). Also, Matt really enjoyed the video from his friends in Porcupine - especially the homemade 3-wheeler! Thanks everyone who drops by to visit,sends messages and well wishes, they really brighten Matt's day.

Hey Matt and the Gustafson clan !!
Good to hear that you are eating, even though you are having some trouble keeping it down, you will overcome that. Just another hurdles in your great recovery.
Matt although I don't even know you I feel that I have come to know you through this blog and prayers. You are in my thoughts and prayers always.
Just remember, "fall down 7 times and stand up 8" Your progress is such an inspiration to me. I had back surgery and I know what a struggle and all the hard work it takes to recover.
Keep a smiling face !!

Hi Matthew and all. Sorry you have had some rough days again. Sure hope the pneumonia is a false alarm. It sure feels like fall here. Seems to soon. Nothing new here. The realestate has come to an abrupt halt, so we wait. Hi to everyone. Enjoy that little Amy and give her a kiss from me. Love Auntie Ardis.
Hey Matt and family, Joanne it was good to visit with you yesterday. You look and sound good,(probably Matts attitude about everything helps) Matt thanks for the smile, it was good to see. You have made so much progress its unbelievable, just keep it up. I am thinking that you will beat Amy with walking. You just have to beat this set back and start strong at City Hosp. Take care and hopefully next time were in the city we can have a visit and you can show me your 'phenemonal moves' just like the shirt says. Kim and Kent
