Matt is doing a lot better, physically and mentally.

He still occasionally fades in and out of reality, but he is so ornery he just looks away, not wanting to admit he has no idea what your talking about, that he really just wants some chocolate syrup. I think, however, he is having more moments in reality then out. For instance, he was joking with the nurses about how he needed to start cleaning the guns before the boys start chasing his daughter. In real life, he says that maybe once or twice a day, so I think he is remembering his fatherly duties (ha. ha. ha.) and hanging out more and more in reality.

Today he got his trachea closed up with a red button, so he is now breathing through his nose and mouth. I don't know if the tube part of the trachea is still in, but I know he is pretty happy to talk. They also put a cast on his right leg, which I can decorate...er...sign....

That is about all that has happened recently, that I am aware of. Next time I visit him, or hear something, I will update.


CORRECTION: It was his right arm, not leg. Sorry.
