Hurray the Mail is here!


Brian went down to the mail room today and told them we know of many people who sent cards and pacakges to Matt and he had gotten one card since we've been here, using the address we were given upon checkin. Brian found the hospital mail room and was escorted from there to another sorting area for the building Matt is in, and there he found 3 packages and many, many cards. We sat and read them all to Matt and hung them in his room! Thank you everyone for the cards. It was not the U.S. Postal Services delay, they were missorted and delayed here at the hospital. Please note the new address, as everything goes to his hospital room regardless, even if it was addressed to the hotel. Thanks!

Matt went on 3 walks today around the second floor NW unit. They didn't take any tubes out today but except to take some out tomorrow. They are also going to clamp the NG tube. It is a 3 day process. It will be clamped for hours tomorrow. Then all day Saturday and maybe out on Sunday. Matt will be so happy!!! Here is a picture of Matt on one of his walks with his Dad, Brian and Christine and Chad.

Oh my gosh, look at you up and walking around! this is awesome to see!!! you will be having races down the hall with others in no time! So glad to hear you keep doing so well, and glad to hear your mom and dad found the mail, maybe someone was trying to hide all the good packages and cards for themselves.:) I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that you can get that yucky tube out of your nose soon. Shawn was right, look out! I can type as fast as I can talk! Take care bud, I hope to see you over soon.

You will have to check for more mail that will get missorted as we just sent out two different letters to the hotel address yesterday.

glad to see we are down to just two grenades!
