Wow, what an exciting game! I don't watch much football, but I still remember the excitement in 1989 when Kent Austin was the QB and Dave Ridgeway kicked that field goal. Today was no different, except I wasn't in Saskatoon. Wish we were there to share in the excitement.
I believe green took over the ICU today. They had an extra room so they moved the bed out and set up a TV in there for Matt and 10 of his friends and family. I was unable to get a hold of dad, but did manage to speak to Nolan for a few minutes. Nolan said the atmosphere was great. Matt stayed up in his chair for the whole game. He still wasn't feeling the best and didn't eat much. however he is getting enough fluids into him which is good. The ICU nurses were able to start an IV, but Nolan wasn't sure if they actually started antibiotics or not. Matt is so much stronger and can cough more efficiently than before so they may wait and see if it clears up on its own. The respiratory therapist did chest physio and suctioned out plenty of the stuff, so no meds would be preferable.
Hopefully I will have more to tell you tomorrow. Thank the Lord the riders won. I believe it really boosted Matt's spirits. I was really impressed with the team. Most of them thanked God for the win. I remember seeing Kent Austin at Nipawin Bible Institute after they had won in 1989, speaking to us about the importance of letting God in to every aspect of our lives. I think he conveys that message to his team. Psalms 119:105 "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path".
