My cute friend Jenn asked about how Matt is doing, so here it goes. This picture was taken yesterday. Matt is sacked out in the recliner and Emmitt is trying to be with dad, although mom is much more fun lately! Matt is doing really well. We have gone to physical therapy twice this week for his separated shoulder. He passed out during the first visit, but all is well. Then second visit was great and we have two more appointments next week.He has been sleeping better the past few nights and waking up only a few times. A week or so ago we were waking up every hour and a half or two hours because of the pain and he just couldn't get comfortable. He would move from couch to bed to recliner to other couch to floor and back all over again. If sounds crazy, but we have a nice sleeping area worked out now -we take the couch cushions off the couch, put them on the floor, throw a bunch of blankets on him, put almost all the pillows in the entire house under his arms and head, and he sleeps like a rock. He feels like one when he wakes up too, but that is just part of the deal!
His pain has been pretty manageable this past week. He is still taking pain meds, and will for awhile longer and is just taking it easy. The incision from the chest tube is all healed up and so he has been able to take REAL showers this past week - very nice!
He has watched I don't know how many movies. ALOT! Thanks to everyone for their loving actions and thoughts. You guys are great!

Oh I'm glad to hear he's doing better. I've been praying for him. He doesn't know me from Eve, but hey -- he's got prayers going up for him anyway! :)

He's even sounding better. So what's the game plan for when he starts climbing the walls from being couped up? Jungle gym in the basement?
Hang in there, both of you. In time (slot of time) this too shall pass.
And, remember when he is feeling better, and school is out, I want those kids, so you two can take a vacation.
I have been wondering how you two have been doing. Thanks for the update. Glad to hear he is progressing.
That misspelled word alot, not slot. Dang keyboard
Thanks for the update Rach. I'll bring over some of our movies-- just incase he's wore out any that you have. Recovery really stinks! Focus on any and all improvements otherwise it feels like you'll never be 100%.
Sorry for giving advice on what to do--I hate when people do that(I'm sure you get it too much)
Mom, the vacation sounds great, lets cross our fingers that it actually happens!
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers!
