Tuesday night

Just a quick post before we head back to the apartment. Matt had a good day - the therapists even had him 'standing' and he got his weight onto his left leg. They worked with him for about 20 minutes moving his legs and arms and then he slept for 2 hours.

This evening he had a peg tube put in his stomach so that they can start giving him more food tomorrow. He's still trying to talk a lot even though we can't understand him yet. He's also worked out how to get his glove off with his teeth so that he can mess with things. We can put his glasses on when we're in the room, but he's very confused by the fact that they don't have an ear piece on the left side (because of the swelling on that side of his head). He takes them on and off trying to figure out what is wrong with them.

  3. Dear Keri,
    Glad that Matt is now out of ICU and into a better environment. I'm sure he must be frustrated by the general disorientation and many changes that are part of the recovery process. Sounds like progress is being made, however. This is an extremely challenging time for you both. Please find the patience, hope and strength you need and know that others are thinking of you.
