Well today was an interesting day. Wonderful kaiser again screws things up. Speech therapy came in and was feeding him Italian ice with a plastic spoon! Matt bit down on it and broke the spoon. He swallowed part of the spoon! So they had to get a doctor in right away to make sure it didn't get sucked into his lungs.thank God it did not. We then had to take him to gastro and stick a tube down his throat to see if there was anything in his stomach. They had to numb his throat with a spray and insert an IV just in case they found something and had to act quickly. They found nothing. So that means either it has passed through his stomach and he'll just pass it through or when they suctioned him earlier they sucked it out without knowing. Either way they put him through a lot today and it never should have happened! We have to get him out of there! They don't know how to take care of their patients.
Matt has come so far and they aren't helping us move forward.
Good news through! His wheel chair is being made and kaiser is going to give him a really nice shower chair which normally they don't cover. We just need a bed now. Then we will be all set to bring him home. Also his parents found a speech therapist that will come out to their home and work with Matt! I'm very excited about this!
There will be a link on matts other blog about signing a petition to the govoner. Please try and sign your name to it.

Hi Lindsey,
I can't believe Weston and I didn't even know there were blogs on Matt's progress, we will be reading them all the time now. I am so sorry to hear that today was especially difficult. We will be in touch.
