Hey, guys. I'd just like to thank you again for all the prayers, keep em coming.
They put that feeding tube in his stomach today and he looks a lot better. It looks like he's trying to wake up, but he's still all doped up on morphine. Hopefully he will wake up in the next 2 or so days. He should be off the ventilator in the next few days. After they get him off the ventilator and watch him for a bit to make sure everything is ok, they will move him out of the ICU and out onto the floor. They took his leg out to traction today too. So over all he's improving, but still has a long way to go, just keep praying for us guys. L8ter, Josh, aka the tireburner

Improved outlook
Josh:
Thanks for the good news on Matt's recovery. Getting off the vent is a big step. Getting out of the ICU even better. He'll come around and yes, he has a long way to go alright but he'll make it. Matt is young, otherwise healthy and he has a strong support system in the form of his family and friends, including all of us at MW. Prayers are continuing, of course. |

Sounds like slow but steady improvement!!!! Just hang in there, he is miles from where he was. Getting off the ventilator will be a big milestone, as will leaving ICU, but lets just take it one step at a time, he IS IMPROVING.
They prayers are still coming.

Oh my God bro, I'm sorry to hear that.
I sincerely hope you don't have to loose your beloved younger brother. On a brighter note, at least we can come together as 'friends' in your time of need.

Matt's out of the ICU and in his own room! They are slowly starting to reduce the amount of mophine and other drugs that they are giving him. He's doing better, but please keep us in your prayers.
Prayin hard, Josh, akak the tireburner

From the website...
Wednesday, August 21 Matt was moved to a private room today. They removed the stitches from his head and they are in the process of weaning him off the trach. He still has a slight infection but Bev thinks they are getting it under control. When the infection is gone, and when Matt can follow simple commands, the doctor says Matt can start rehab. The doctor told Bev it is going to take time. No updates since the 21st... Lets all keep prayin....

Hey guys. Well they should have him off the trach by now. He's still got some type of infection, they are doing cultures now to see just what it is. He's doing ok guys, we just need you to keep praying.
