Update Tuesday 08/03/2010:

So today Matt called me to update the blog for him. Matt and his doctors have decided that the wound on his leg just isn't getting better and because of that and running the risk of Matt being in and out of surgeries and risk of infection as well they have decided to amputate. Matt is aski...ng for lots of prayers due to the fact that they are not sure at this point if the amputation can be BK (below the knee)...if it is below the knee he will at least have the joint and it would be an easier time physical therapy wise. So please we are all asking everyone to say a little prayer for Matt. They are thinking the surgery for that may be Thursday or Friday, however Matt has also spiked some fevers and until that subsides surgery will be held off...unless of course it is the leg that is causing the fevers. Matt is in very good spirits about all of this, he has come to terms with the fact that he wants a better quality of life and with a prosthetic he can.
