Hey everyone Julia here with an update on Matty.
He has had a pretty tough week.. No changes most of the week.
Docs kept taking him off the propofol trying to get him to react to voice and touch and he wasn't having it. He also still had not been able to breath on his own, so they decided to do a tracheotomy. Which helped alot!
He was taken off sedation and FINALLY reacted to the nurse and followed her with his eyes where as before he wouldn't react at all!
In the next few days he will be moved to Bethesda in St. paul for his continued care, not needing the ICU anymore this place will help with his continued recovery.
THANK YOU for you all continued prayers and helping Carol, Matt and family through this tough time.
Keep praying! Matty you're doing awesome!!!
Thanks,
Julia
