Thanksgiving day - Matt version

We have little steps to be thankful for today. Its so hard to imagine that his accident was a week ago - his nurse practitioner told me last night that they are amazed by the progress he has made so far. He still has a really long road ahead and we're unsure how he's going to be when he first wakes up, but he's moving forward.

They weaned him off the blood pressure medicines last night and he is regulating his blood pressure himself. They also switched the settings on the respirator so he's mostly breathing on his own with some assistance for expiration. Its nice to see him breathing at his own rate again - he looks more like Matt sleeping than Matt all drugged up.

We're having turkey sandwiches and are saving our real Thanksgiving holiday for later. I hope that you're all having a nice Thanksgiving and thanks for keeping Matt in your thoughts.

  1. Dear Keri, on this family day moment, I wish you above all to find your matt back to himself as quickly as possible. If this thought could help, I'd made the time of that wait faster for you.
    With all our friendship and care, I am thankful for your and matt friendship.
    Cheers, Marie.

  2. Keri and Matt,
    We're thinking about you today! I hope Matt's progress continues and when he wakes up, you can perhaps suggest that next time he decides to get clocked in the melon, he could do it after the holiday season. Turkey sandwiches?!? I don't even like to eat those when I'm desperate!
    You're probably sick of hearing this, but hang in there and we are praying for a speedy recovery for Phat, and strength, comfort, and rest for you and the rest of the family.
    With Love,
    Sylvia and Clan (Matt, Ethan, and Levi)
