Sorry for the late night post. It was a long day.
Matt may not be full awake because of the medicines but today the nurse was bathing and shaving him and she said he opened his eyes, grinned at her and winked! I take that as a sign of improvement.
He is in restraints because they don't want him to pull out the breathing tubes, but he is stretching and moving around more in his sleep. I see all of this as major improvement.
They took out the stitches on his forehead laceration. Amazing how fast the body heals.
Matt will have surgery on Friday to pin his broken leg. Please keep him in your prayers and in your heart.
I have told the nursing staff that everyone has has family permission to visit. One of the nurses has been giving visitors a hard time, not only for our family but a few other people in the waiting room said the same nurse was stopping family from coming in.
The evening nurse asked if we could stop visitation by 9:00 at night. Tonight got all screwed up, partly because the nursing staff was updating his tubes, etc and cut into "our time" by about 40 minutes. And on top of that, Stephen's Uncle and his family from Knox stopped in. Come to find out, their daughter in laws niece was air lifted from Knox because of a car accident. It was late but I appreciated the nursing staff letting everyone have a chance to visit with Matt.
I haven't been able to talk with Matt's doctors. I wish I could somehow know how long he will be in ICU and then in a regular room. I will post as soon as I know. Good night to all!
