I am so happy to report that we finally got an appointment date for the swallow test! June 1st! Tomorrow!!!! We need everyones prayers that day. This test is going to show matts capability to swallow and hopefully it will open the doors for Matt to eventually get his feeding tube removed! This is a huge step and my fingers are crossed for the best news, which would be that Matt can start eating whole foods by mouth now!
I know I shouldn't get too excited but its hard not to. With him going to speech therapy in June and now the swallow test and he's completely holding his head up now...I have a smile from ear to ear and my heart feels like its going to burst with excitement! I pray everyday and every night for a miracle, for just one more minute with him, just to hear his voice say I love you one more time.
A lot of people ask me, "will Matt ever be the same again?" My answer to that is simple, Matt should have died in that accident, but he lived, he pulled through the impossible, God has such an amazing plan for him. It might not be what we all want, but then it might, all we have to be thankful for is we still have an amazing young man in our lives. Gods never disappointed me before, and I don't expect him to now. There's a reason why Matt is still here with us. But from my heart and what I feel and believe, especially when I'm with him, Matt's going to surprise us all!

Matt always seems to surprise me. Like tonight, I was leaving and he gave me a hug and his parents said to give me a big squeeze!! HE did! It's the most amazing feeling in the world. I had to just hold back the tears. The way he makes me feel just takes my breath away. I'm just waiting for that phone call one day, saying he finally talked, or he took his first step today. I know someday we will have that joy of hearing and seeing that.
I posted two new pictures of Matt and I that I just took the other night. Hope you enjoy! Remember to keep Matt in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow morning! I can't wait to update everyone when I find out!
