Opaque Lucidity

Matthew

For those of you who do not know, Matt had a seizure in the parking garage on January 10th after leaving a performance of The Phantom of the Opera. As he fell to the ground he broke his scapula (shoulder blade) in three places and has a compresion fracture in his L1 (lower spine). He was admitted to Nortons Hospital and spent five days there under the care of more doctors than I could count. I was finally able to bring him home on Tuesday the 15th.

To help his recovery, he has to wear a "clam shell" brace that fits from his upper chest tohis lower waist. This brace helps stabilize his back and ease the pain. He will spend the next two to four months in the brace. Many of you have sent your prayers and well wishes for his recovery, so I would like to say "thank you". Matt & I have been very blessed in so many ways. The accident could have been so much worse. Luckily, he was not able to locate his car right away, because if he had, he may have been driving while the seizure happened. One of the first people on the scene was a nurse who knew exactly how to take care of him. There were so many blessings that day that I cannot image what could have been.

So postings here on the blog may be sparce the next week or so, but we hope Matt will be up and moving soon. So keep checking back for additional news on his recovery and hopefully his own posts soon!

God Bless,
Kelli
