Friday morning around 9 a.m. the moment Matt has been asking for - the tube in his throat has been removed! When he heard he was getting the tube out, he pumped both fists! He still has his sense of humor and wit.
He will stay at least one more day in the ICU to be closely monitored, but at least he can breathe on his own. He will have a swallow evaluation today to make sure he can manage food and drink. He would really like to drink something, but we'd like to make sure everything works so we don't need to put a tube back in.
He had the swallow eval at about 2pm. He did OK, but really needs to do better before he can eat or drink.
Thanks again to all who have prayed and are praying.
Matt sends the "thumbs up" sign.
