Time to Get Up!

Hard to get any sleep. The nurses were in every two hours to check on Matt. At 5:00 am they came in and hooked Matt up to another bag. This time it looks like a large bag of Milk. It is his supplement food through his IV. Matt's mouth is really dry. He wishes he could get rid of some of the tubes in him. He knows how important they are for now. 7:00 am 3 Doctors that do the rounds told him today it is time to get UP! Matt wants to get up but can't imagine how with all the tubes coming out of him. One lung isn't fully open. That is why they are giving him his favorite breathing machine! Casey knows how much he likes breathing into that machine! This will get that lung full of air! He is going to try and get a little sleep before they come. Matt is doing well! Having a little bit of stomach pain. To be expected.

Thank you for all your well wishes. Matt really enjoys them. He likes getting mail! Continue to keep Matt in your thoughts and prays!

Hang in there Matt! We are thinking of you non-stop and praying that the healing process is a speedy one!

**As we learn to breathe, we become inspired** (and you've definitely become a strong inspiration to many)

All our Love,

Matty--- make sure you keep working on that breathing machine you love!! It is very important with your healing- you wouldn't want to get pneumonia on top of everything you have been though! Miss you bud! Keep up the great work and see you in 1 week! I can't wait! Hopefully you are up for some sightseeing! :)

Matt,
Just remember when you get up those gowns are open in the back and we want you to breath not the nursing staff.

Syd and Ella want to have Casey over for a play date so she is not missing you so much.

You are on our minds in our hearts and always in our payers....wish we could be there...Love you all.
