Matt did the most incredible thing tonight! He was lifting his right leg up and down while sitting in his wheelchair outside! His dad was doing range of motion with his legs and when he stopped Matt continueed doing it. We were yelling him to lift his leg and do the same thing as his dad was doing. He did for 5 to 10 minutes! Also he was sitting up in a wheelchair for over 2 hours! It was amazing! I wish I had a video camera because I want to show Matt how well he is doing!
Cross your fingers and hope that we will take him home this week. His parents will be going to orange county to look at a van that might possibly fit matts needs. Bringing him home would be such an answer to all of our prayers. To be able to get Matt in a shower, hang out around the house, smell his moms cooking, doing exercises in their pool, it will be great! We will all be able to relax and enjoy the end of summer.
The message in church was about feeling the holy spirit answer before that event even happens or how He gives you spiritual advice on how to make a decision. God had a plan on the 28th of March. It wasn't our plan but he was in control and he always was in control. We don't know why certain situations happen but if we know God is in control that will help ease our minds. God will never give us more than we can handle. It might feel like he does at times but he knows just how much we each can handle. You'd be surprised how much you can really handle, trust me I was and still am!
If I can bring comfort to anyone of you out there trust me when I tell you Matt is the most strongest person! I see it in him everyday. He fights to be back with us. One day he will. Even from the first time I stepped into that room on the 6th floor and I saw Matt, he was there. He was hurt, in a coma, and there were a lot of tubes but I felt his heart. He never left us. Ive always had a good feeling about this whole tragic event.
So to everyone out there that has been praying for Matt, me, his family thank you from the bottom of my heart.
