Too Much Estrogen

Today Shauna, myself, Jonmarie, mom, and dad were in to visit Matt. Dad and mom took Jonmarie out to play in the park. The female nurse and respiratory therapist were in the room and asked Matt how he was feeling. He said he was fine but there was too much estrogen in the air! Maybe some will rub off! But maybe it was all that positive energy that helped Matt move his Left pinkie and ring finger for the first time! More great news! Praise the Lord. Matt did have a pretty good day, but he does have an infection in his lungs which he is getting antibiotics for. They did have to suction him more today, but he is so much stronger he can cough it up. Ate well with no vomiting today. Up in his chair all dressed and looking spiffy. And they had given him a whirlpool bath so he even smelled spiffy (unlike the regular stinky boy smell!) Watched "Wild Hogs" on his portable DVD player, so funny. Had a sad moment thinking about home and missing his friends. But you know Matt, you can't keep a good man down. Continue to pray that Matt will get breathing on his own and able to leave the ventilator behind...Psalms 118:8 "It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man."

We are so happy to hear all your good news. The infection will be cleared up in no time. Just a little setback. It rained a little today so stopped the combining. We had two good days, so we will take that and be thankful. It is supposed to get nice again next week. We are about 3/4 done so that is good.

I can't wait to come see you again. It will be so exciting to see you all dressed up and smelling spiffy as Shelley said.

Hi to all your family.

Love Aunty Sandy & Uncle Orest
