Weight up and rubs his nose
Matt had another good day. He was able to do another 2 hours trach trail and also had the cuff down so he could do some talking. Was up in his chair for 5 1/2 hours and did really well. He went up to rehab and was able to do some work on the arm and hand pulleys using both wrists. His right arm is much stronger than the left, but was able to do a little with his left. He had a couple bouts of nausea, but was able to keep everything down. Took a trip outside and to see our beautiful fall weather. Ate well today and after his weight was checked is now up to 176lbs. If they feel he is gaining enough they may do away with the tube feedings all together. For the first time was able to lift up his right hand to rub his nose, all smiles. Lots of company today, loves to visit and get all the news. Praise the Lord. Prayers for continued success with the trach trails and with rehab. Isaiah 26:12 All that we have accomplished you have done for us, O Lord.

Hey Matt,
Congratulations on touching your nose, extended successful trach trials, sitting up for soooo long!!! You are doing so well and everybody is so happy and relieved for you and your family! To any "cooking blog followers" who are coming to see you, here is the easiest & tastiest Peanut Butter cookie recipe: 2 cups peanut butter, 1 1/4 cup sugar & 2 eggs (that's it - no flour or anything else. Cook @ 350). I hope someone makes these for you; they are simply yummy (I would make some to send with Shelley, John, Jonmarie & Shaunie, but, what are the chances you'd ever actually get a cookie out of that vanload of peanut-butter lovers???!!). Keep up the great progress!!
