cpty1 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) Just spoke with John and got an update on Mathew's condition. Apparently yesterday was a breakthrough day and Mathew's condition improved greatly. So much so, that according to John, the doctors can't explain nor believe it. After coming out of the induced coma, he was able to recognize his parents and answer some questions using hand signals. They were discussing moving him to a long term care facility a couple of days ago, but it appears that may not happen now. He is still on the ventilator and the doctors are unsure of how much, if any brain damage there is. Mathew's head took 3 separate and serious blows; one when the car initially hit him, a second when his head hit the windshield, and the last when he fell to the ground over 25 feet from the impact area. Hopefully, now that he is awake the doctors can assess the situation better. There is still an expectation of an extended rehab due to the damage to his legs as well. John would like to thank everyone and asked that you continue to pray for Mathew and the family. He is convinced that it is the outpouring of prayer and support that resulted in this turn for the better in Mathew's condition.

John, We will keep your family on the prayer list until there is a complete recovery. I know that lots of competent people are taking care of the boys.

GlockSpeed31 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Update as per Chris Patty 12-27-07: Good news to report on Mathew's condition. Sometime around the Sunday/Monday timeframe, his fever finally broke and his white blood cell count improved. He has continued to improve and strengthen daily since then and is planned to be moved to another facility tomorrow where he will begin rehab.

jjlefty51 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Latest update from Chris: John just gave me a call with an update on Mathew's condition. He was successfully relocated over to the Children's Medical Center rehab unit. Mathew and family are in much better spirits as a result of just being out of IC and the hospital. John shared with me today that the trauma surgeon he spoke with right after the accident only gave Mathew a 20% chance of surviving that accident. While it appears he is out of any immediate danger now, there is still a long and difficult rehab ahead. Mathew still suffers from some speech and other motor skill challenges. The hope is those issues will diminish as he continues to recover from the severe head trauma he suffered, in combination with the rehab that will be provided.
