Infection comes knocking again...
Matt did not have a good day today, he has infection in his lungs again, so the trach trials are on hold. He is taking antibiotics which they feel is causing some of the nausea. He was up in the chair for a couple hours, but was not feeling well so went back to bed. He fell asleep and was sleeping all afternoon and early evening. He also was having a hard time keeping any food down so had mostly fluids. Jacki went and spent the evening with him, and though he did a lot of coughing he still enjoyed the crossword and Suduko puzzles. Wasn't to thrilled that Edmonton lost to the B.C. lions, Oilers lost to Calgary and Boston beat Cleveland. Not a great day for his teams. He did eat better tonight was able to keep 2 slices of pizza and some real mashed potatoes and homemade hamburgers down. Prayers for today are that the infection will clear up quickly and the trach trials can begin again as the vent is the problem with the infection in the lungs. Thank you for the continued prayers and support. Nahum 1:7 "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him."

Matt, nobody can kick an infection's butt better than you! ;) You can do this - we'll pray!
Your blog-world friend Christy
matt you would think your body should be used to these infections by now. Just another hurdle to jump over. Was talking to mom this evening, being Sunday, she was so happy she got in to see you for a short time. She said you were very tired, but looked very good. I know 'of course'. You get your rest so you can fight this infection and get stronger, just know we are always praying for you. God is always there, just lean on Him and He will see you through.
I don't like the weather as it is getting cooler, but winter is coming soon. Keep up the good fight Matt. It is so good to read the blog, thanks girls, one of these days I have to phone you Jo. Take care.
Love Deb
Hi Matt,
I was glad to be able to pop in to say hi, even though I told the nurses not to bother waking you up. They said that you had had a rough day (on Saturday).
Hopefully you'll be feeling up to eating those ginger snaps before long. Make sure to tell Mom to mic those muffins, as I had them in the freezer.
When I called into the ICU unit and said who I was and wanted to see you, I could hear them in the background saying my name - obviously, they've never seen me up at City yet and didn't have a clue who I was. I kind of got a kick out of that.
Glad you do have a room to yourself. Probably, you sleep better without the additional noise of others.
Take care. Still praying for you as I told you.

My prayer for you tonight is..."Lord, let your constant love surround Matt, for our hope is in you alone..." We know he is a faithful God and He will never leave you nor forsake you-He is a constant friend!! yy
