Update Sunday 07/18/2010:

Matt is doing a little better today. He still gets very aggrivated because he still doesn't understand why he can't just get up and do stuff or leave. He still can't comprehend the extent of what had happened. So we, along with the wonderful and patient nursing staff, take him with a grain o...f salt. We try to explain things to him but he is just not at that point of understanding yet. So because he is still in ICU we are still limiting visits to immediate family. We thank you all in advance for your patience and understanding. As soon as he is more Matt we will let everyone know when he can have more visitors. The chest tube came out today and dialysis is now down to every other day. His progress is slow but good...keep him in your thoughts and prayers...everyone is impressed with how well he is doing and how far he has come.
