At 6:00 tonight they came in and said they were moving Matt out of ICU. Now Matt has his own private room on 2NW. room 18. It took them 1 hour and 45 minutes to disconnnect him, change all his bandages and move him down one floor and reconnect all his tubes. Matt has 3 tubes in his right side of his chest and one tube in the middle of his chest and one tube coming out of the left side of his chest. All of the tubes will be in for 5 to 7 days. They said this is normal. They also said they are not going to give him as much pain meds, they are making him to sleepy. He got to talk on the web cam to casey and Jenny today and hopefully to Aunt Shelly and family tonight. He hopes everything is going well for everyone in Wisconsin!! He said he hopes to see everyone soon. Dr. Sugarbaker said he has a clip on his colon and it needs to heal for 8 weeks so he doesn't get the "poop bag" he so calls it.
For sure two weeks and Dr Sugarbaker is saying probably 3 weeks. Then 5 more weeks when he gets home!
Thank you for all your prayers! I read him all the comments! He really likes them.
Good night

Hi Matt,
Had to send you a message before we go to bed. Your new cousin will be born first thing in the morning, so we need some sleep. You look great in the pictures. Keep up the fighting spirit that we can see in your eyes and smiling face.
Love and Prayers,
Uncle Andy, Aunt Wendy, Owen, Ally, and ? (well ? for at least another 10 hours)
Glad to see you have that wonderful attitude and smile. You are such an inspiration to many Matt.
Thanks Be to God!!
We look forward to seeing you back in town again.
We pray for a speedy recovery.

Matt, So happy to hear your surgery went well. We think about you so often. Wish we could have made it to the benefit, but had a previous engagement. Glad it was such a success. Gods blessings to you and your family! Palmer & Judy
