August 4th

We just got some exciting news!! Matt is going to get the PEG tube put into his stomach at 11:30 today. I was not expecting this, the doctor was not very sure he would do it today or wait until Tuesday. God is good to us, this means that Matt should be able to go back up to the rehab floor in a couple of days. This is a step in the right direction. He has been more alert since they have started feeding him the 2600 calories a day and seems to have more energy, imagine that. I will update later about how the PEG went and if there is any news about when he is moving up to the rehab floor. Thanks again for praying and keep those prayers going up, because they are sure working.

Hi Donna and Matt,
That's good to hear that he got the PEG put in his stomach this morning. How are things going with that now? By the way...what does "PEG" stand for? "Pole entering the gut?" "Puncture, enter and gouge?" "Please eat good?" Anyway...just guesssing. Let me know. Tell Matt I said "Hello."

Love,
Carol :)
