Continuing to make progress

So the last entry I wrote was pretty exciting right? Well I have even better news today! Two days ago Matt's PT sat him up and when he sat up and got his balancehe helf his head up on his own and was able to sit there by himself with no help! So his PT and his mom decided to see if Matt could turn his head from side to side. So they tried...and...he did it. This is the first time Matt has turned his head on command while sitting up. So awesome! Okay so to me that's pretty amazing and you would think he wold be pretty tired after all that right? Well not quite yet. After they put Matt back to bed he was moving his hands around and moving his fingers alot. So they gave him a water bottle to see what he would do with it. They asked him to try and unscrew the water bottle cap. So Matt went to unscrew it. He was successful! so then they asked him to screw it back on, again he was successful! Can you believe it? Because I cant! I can't believe how well he's doing. It seems like just yeterday we were in the hospital being told this was it. But here we are a few weeks out of the hospital and Matt is performing on command, moving around, standing, sitting, using his hands, holding his head up, that hospital couldn't have been more wrong about Matt and what he was capable of doing. Like I said before Matt is going to blow us all away. He will go down in the history books as one of the most strongest fighters in the world. He is a miracle. God had plans for him, and all I know is that God is in control of this situation, not anyone else.
I look forward to every new day that comes becuase Matt continues to show us new things every single day. It's like that song, "I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep, and I don't want to miss a thing." It's hard leaving him becuase I really don't want to miss anything new. I'm so proud of him! I know I say that alot but I truly am.
On a personal note, it'a so amazing seeing Matt work so hard at all these things. We are able to do these things everyday but we take advantage of them. I realized that if you just take a few minutes out of your day to think about everything that you have in your life and the things you are able to do, you will realize life isn't as bad as we might think. Be thankful for being able to get out of bed everyday, to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and to eat whatever we want, to drive a car, to yell, scream and cry when we want, to speak whats on our mind and most importantly to say I love you to the ones we hold closest to our hearts. Before this accident I used to sweat the small stuff. Now, I don't think anything could ever get to me or bother me, because nothing will ever be as bad as it was on March 28th. Even now there are days when I think, how am I going to get through another day? And then I think about what Matt must be thinking. How frustrating it must be to be locked up inside your body not being able to communicate with others around you. Wanting so badly to speak and get out of bed. So if Matt can get through another day so can I and so can everyone else.
Matt is my inspiration.
