At a standstill
We seem to be in neutral at this point. We are hoping they change their plan of not pushing the trach trial longer than 13 hours. Matt really wants to continue moving forward, so lets pray that will happen. Proverbs 4:25 "Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you." He had lots of company, which is great and even better with the cuff deflated so he can talk, instead of reading his lips (which Matt knows I am not good at, he would just roll his eyes in disgust!). Matt's appetite is improving slowly, and he ate very well today. A bit of nausea when getting up in his chair, but it was a rough ride. Enough said. Massage therapist was in again to work out those kinks. She has a hard time doing it herself, so it wasn't as good as she would have liked, but it is better than nothing. Still hoping he will go upstairs tomorrow or Thursday to rehab for a few hours. Needs to continue building those muscles. Gary is coming this weekend, and then Matt could give him a workout. Just ask him to play a game of Trivia Pursuit Matt, that should keep him quiet! We continue to thank all those who respond to the blog, who read it, who take encouragement from it, and for those who come and see Matt. Every act of encouragement keeps him looking ahead and looking up. Romans 15:5 "May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Hey Matt! Well, I'm sure that there are times you feel like things are at a standstill, but I sure hope you can see how far you've come! We are all so impressed and amazed at how quickly you're progressing! Even more inspiring is how you manage to keep such a positive attitude and your great faith. You truly are an inspiration to many! We continue to hold you in our prayers, and you are constantly in our thoughts. Keep up the great work, Matt! Have fun with Gary this weekend! Love to all!
Love, Shannon

Hi Matt-Try beat Gary to the timbits eh? That is good he can come visit you. The hunters are plentiful around here these days! Remember to keep doing as many exercises as you can (from that 7 foot bed!), so you can surprise your mom when she gets back! Does your new bed have a comfy mattress? Had kids club today - next week is our wind-up program.take care. yy

Hi Matt! Uncle Ken says not to worry about anything except doing what the staff want you to do !!! Getting rid of the treach will help you not get so many infections. Anyway I second what everyone else is saying. You are doing wonderful. I took Aunt Evelyn to have her second cataract surgery today. Beautiful weather. Our house still isn't sold. Hard to believe how things change. Take care hi to everyone. Thanks for the blogs girls I don't know what we would do without them. Love Auntie Ardis.

Hi Matt! I read your blog just about everyday, and I am continually amazed by your determination and progress. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: you're an inspiration!
Chantel, Brez and boys
P.S.-It's Halloween--do you happen to remember a Halloween quite a few years ago now? I still smile when I think about it. My husband hasn't had a good car chase since then!!
