Update Tuesday 07/19/2010:

Matt is getting better everyday, however he is still in ICU so he doesn't get much rest. He gets tired easily so we are still asking everyone to be patient. We all know there are many family and friends who want to see him and hopefully it will be soon. He had dialysis today and it went ver...y well. His white blood cell count is still high but it was slighly lower than yesterday so it is moving in the right direction. He is watching his movies and making friends with his nurses...he shaved himself today and was very whitty. He still doesn't have feeling in his left foot and asks us to massage it for him. The wound vac is still on his leg to help heal the open wounds he has from the swelling which is somewhat uncomfortable for him but all in all he is in good spirits. He starts physical therapy tomorrow as well...all in all a good day...
