Update from Emily yesterday: Matt just completed 40 minutes breathing on his own! The ventilator is back on now and so are the meds. I am so proud of him. He is exhausted and passed out. A few more days of this then hopefully the vent will come out!

Another update, posted by Emily: A bit of good news- all your prayers and well wishes have been heard by matt. So much in fact that his brain function is up to the point where they have had to sedate him even more to keep him from waking up so he can complete his healing process. I slept in the room with him last night and am now up to start the warming process. This is where he has to give it everything he's got to fight through and wake back up. Not out of the woods yet but so far he has done great!

thanks for keeping us up to date man

Update
at 4am theyre gonna start warming him up. theyre gonna be looking at brain and heart damage. it all depends on how he reacts to warming up. it looks like he's doing better than he was. looks optimistic over here, but we dont know the extent of the damage and really even if he'll fully come back. everything has gone very well so far.

Just a quick update. They have slowed down his brain function by cooling his body temp so that his brain can heal. This process takes 24 hours from when he reached lowest temp which was 4am. Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes.
