It's always amazing to me how God orchestrates things, but especially when life is a little more intense.
Today (Thursday) I was at home for a short time while I prepared for some work I needed to do when Matt's very good friend, Peter called. Peter has been Matt's friend since 8th grade and is the truest of true friends. I had Peter on my mental list of people to call, but had not gotten to him before he called our house.
He was hoping to hang out with Matt like they've done for a number of years. Since Matt was in the hospital that wasn't going to work. I had the opportunity to mention Matt's situation and Peter thought he would be able to come and visit Matt. Not only did he and his dad come visit, but they were kind enough to drive me back to the hospital, visit, and then bring Laura home!
God shows up in so many "coincidences" that you really have to be blind NOT to see Him at work.
An update on Matt's status - Thursday afternoon he tried to breathe without complete support of the ventilator, but was having spells of apnea (no breathing) and was not successful. The plan is to keep him on the ventilator for another day and try again. He also is running a temperature so there is some concern about possible infection.
Tonight Matt watched some Tim Hawkins videos on You Tube - his favorite. He was fairly responsive and interactive. He's using sign language that he picked up at school. I'm impressed with his ability to try and communicate without his voice.
He's in some pain from time to time, but calms down quickly when pain medications are given.
To all who are praying, thank you. It is very much appreciated.
