Sorry it took me so long to blog again. We have been very busy trying to check off all of the tasks at hand for Matt to be able to come home. I'll start with yesterday. As you know he was finally moved to PCU. He had his parents, his brother Scott and his girlfriend Michelle, and 3 girls from the fire department come to visit him. He enjoyed getting a chance to visit with everyone and getting most of his tubes and lines discontinued.He looked at the blog for the first time last night and he was overwhelmed by everyone who had already signed up to help us 
and he. Thank you to everyone who has already volunteered to sacrifice your time and resources for us. On a lighter note, he was able to sleep for about 3 hours last night, but when he woke up he was in excruciating pain because he had no Morphine for that time period. It took him about 1.5 hrs to get caught up on his pain meds before he could tolerate a "reasonable" amount of pain. He was able to sleep in until 8 o'clock this morning and then go back to sleep for a nap around 10am. Around 1130, his friends Kim, Hoa, and Vivian came to visit. They brought him egg rolls (There are no egg rolls that come close to comparing with these. They are awesome!), flowers, a balloon, and snacks for him and the kids. He had a really wonderful visit. After church, I brought him Wendy's and he ate every last bite of it. Afterall, it is much better than hospital food! I hung out until around 9pm. During that time, Linda Thompson from our church came by and brought Matt a balloon that everyone signed at church for him. That was so thoughtful and Matt really enjoyed reading everyone's notes. Later in the afternoon Lt. Anthony Willis stopped by to see how Matt was doing and we had a wonderful time just talking and hanging out. Scott and his crew at the fire station came to visit us at 8pm. Matt has really enjoyed every one's company the past few days and we appreciate all of the love and support that we have been getting. Matt also got his first shower all by himself today!! It was a good thing to. Now he doesn't smell like betadine anymore. Anyways, he is doing really well and we truly appreciate every one's prayers and support. It is still looking like he might be discharged from the hospital tomorrow afternoon. 
I know if it wasn't for God, we would not have been able to get through this with such grace and peace that He has given us. I don't know how to describe it other than I know His hand is upon us and He will never leave us or forsake us nor will He give us more than we can handle.
