As you can tell--it may be simple, but I still don't know what I'm doing!! But, this will be a great sight when I learn how to use it! Talked to Uncle Jim and Aunt ann this morning. I think, now begins the big waiting game. They are keeping Matt sedated because they do not want him to cough, even though they put saline solution in his lungs about every four hours and then suction it and all the debris out. Even though they know that there is some neurological damage, they don't know how much. This is caused from lack of oxygen when his heart stopped twice. They will not be able to evaluate this until they can do a cat scan, and that probably will not happen until the tubes are removed. When they did allow him to "wake up", he seemed to follow them with his eyes and when asked to squeeze their hand, the seemed to respond.

The big concern for right now is the pneumonia. One lung is responding to the antibiotic, but the other it is hard to tell. His heart has 50% damage, Ann said that is about what Uncle Jim has. Danny is retunring home as I type. Uncle Jim and Maia will return probably tomorrow, to S.L. then Uncle Jim will drive home.

Mom, Grandma or whoever
