Some of you are aware, I left church early during second service yesterday; they took my son Matt back to the ER. Intense pain; headaches. After catscan and etc, was determined he was having "brain spasms". His brain bleed and etc is healing really well. They gave him much stronger pain meds which should help as this healing process goes on.
Had long talk with the doctor and she very kindly explained things to us going the extra mile to put us at ease.
Keep having to remind myself, this is Matt not my wife Joanne; he is stronger and prognosis is good.
Did find out that Matt's broken neck is the same that Christoper Reeves (Superman), unlike him, Matt's first c vertebrae is fractured, Christoper's was compressed.
FYI, what they do, is give you Perkiset? hoping it will be enough, instead of giving the stronger pain meds to make sure. Been down this road personally with leg. Not sure if government guide line but is how it is.
Matt is back at his apartment now and we will be spending most of today talking to doctors and setting up appointments. Has long road ahead but amazingly, looking at him riding his bike again in a few months or so.
Thank you for your continued prayers. Please also continue to pray for the driver of the car who hit him and for us as we begin to deal with the insurance companies; most important that our witness be pure and everything said is Glorifying to God.
