Matthew is having a great day. His kidneys kicked in last night and he's peeing like a race horse. His swelling is down significantly today to the point that he's starting to look like himself again. His oxygen saturation is now up to 82 and they're starting to wean him off the paralytic medicine. He hasn't opened his eyes yet but he is starting to move a little.
If things continue to go well they will likely close his chest Thursday or Friday this week. Once his chest is closed he will likely swell again and his oxygen saturation will decrease. Within a day or 2 after closing these numbers should improve once again.
We're taking one step at a time and this is a big step he took today. We're very excited about his progress.

Yeah! We are thrilled to hear of Matthew's progress. Just wanted you to know that just this morning we prayed specifically for Matthew's kidneys and the swelling to be reduced. Keep us informed so we know how to pray. GOD IS GOOD! (no, make that GREAT!) Love, the Green family
Praise God for Matthew's progress! We'll see you tomorrow night with a dinner delivery.
