Hapyy 21st Birthday Matty! Hope you had great presents...I mean a great day! Wednesday Matt went out to watch the movie "Fool's Gold" with Kristan from rehab and another fellow outpatient. Said it wasn't too bad.
Today was quite exciting. At rehab Matt stood for 8 minutes!! That is a big jump from 1 min. What a birthday gift that was!! Matt aslo did some arm exercises but felt he didn't do very well because he was tired from all the standing. However the rehab staff disagreed and told him he just keeps getting better. Went to lunch in the hospital with Rocky. Matt was going to go out to supper tonight but he knew that he would have company this evening and didn't want to tire himself out. So took a short visit to ICU, but they were so busy they didn't have much time to chat. Had a short nap between 5-7pm until the hordes of visitors came bearing gifts. Balloons, chocolates, cake, movies, etc. I just finished on the phone with mom and all I could hear was noise in the background. Just one big party.
Thanks to everyone who continues to think about Matt, and all the visits and blog comments. They brighten his day so much and really encourage him to push himself. God bless each and every one of you!!PSalms 34:15 "The eyes of the Lord are on the rightgeous and his ears are attentive to their cry".

Sounds like you had an awesome birthday - and a gift to yourself - 8 minutes of standing. You continue to blow us all away. It's great that you keep surprising the medical staff at what you can accomplish and continue to do. Bet you'll get a really good sleep tonight - that is unless you can't unwind from all that partying going on here - ha! Sleep well!
