A Very Happy Thanksgiving

Matt gave us something to really be thankful for. He rolled his left leg slightly and again moved his left pinkie finger! Make a joyful noise! "I will enter in his gates with thanksgiving in my heart, I will enter in his courts with praise. I will say this is the day that the Lord has made." They were very worried with the new med if it would inhibit his movement, which it can do, but it also promotes movement by preventing some of those spasms that make movement impossible during range of motion or exercise. Talk about a mouthful. Ate well today with no emesis. Have to take it really slow to get his stomach used to more food. They are again turning off his tube feed form 7am until 12am. Would be nice to eliminate one more tube. However that left lung of Matt's is continuing to give him problems. He de-sated again today, once he was down to 62% O2. They think it is a spontaneous pneumothorax, which means that his lung spontaneously collapses and then regains normal lung function within a short time. Still not great but on chest x-ray his lungs were clear. So please pray for healing of his diaphragm and lungs so that soon the ventilator will come out. Psalms 95:7 "for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care."
