Matt was a hungry man yesterday. Usually Matt doesn't eat too much of his dinner at 12:00, and yesterday it was no exception. However Dad got him a BLT and fries, which he gobbled in no time. Supper was also eaten without exception, which was another first, because it was the hospital food. As anyone who has been in the hospital, the food leaves much to be desired. The weather was cold, but Dad and Matt braved the element's and went outside for a spin around the grounds. Then off to "exemisises" (what Jonmarie calls exercises). Last week, when Matt had sat on the floor with support, then put his hands behind him, he was able to support himself for 3 mins. Now he was able to hold himself for 6 mins. They also practiced rolling on the floor. With help, he was able to do it 4 times. But dad said the 3rd time, Matt almost did it himself. Keep up the hard work, Matt. It will pay off.
They did no further capping of the trach yesterday, however Matt still did 13 hours with the cuff down, and minimal support from the ventilator. With the cuff down, he talked to mom on the phone. I think she is having a hard time being away from Matt. It is like being away when your baby rolls for the first time. As a mother, you don't want to miss anything! Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful."
