Sept. 3

Well today is another good day. We are making plans for Matt going home. They are lining up therapy, get equipment for the house and we are getting excited. He is working hard and will continue to work hard for the next 6 days while he is here. He wants to get the most out of the time that he has with the OT/PT people here at the hospital. On Tuesday they had him walking without the use of the walker. He was actually walking down the hallway with just the therapist beside him. He said that it was a little scary, but it felt good to know that he could do it. I wish I had been here to see that!!! Today for part of his therapy, they had him cooking and standing up in the kitchen. He helped make spagetti and meatballs. The other patients on the floor got to eat the food and they all said it was very good. This has been the best place for Matt and I am so thankful for all of the people on this unit that have helped him recover. God has been so good to us by providing us with the great people that have taken care of Matt. We have met some very awesome nurses and doctors. Please continue to keep Matt in your prayers as he gets ready to go home and please pray for the boys and I that we will be able to make him feel welcome and that our family will once again fit together like it did before. Please also continue to pray for Matt's eyes, they are getting better and the double vision is not as far apart as it was. The images seem to be coming together slowly. We love you and we will continue to thank God for all of you and that you are there to pray for us in this trying time.
