It's a miracle!

During the wee hours of the morning, the doctors took Matt off of his anesthesia to see how he would react. He seemed to handle that well, so well in fact, that he woke up. He sat up in his bed and was able to recognize mom, dad and Naomi. He even spoke a little bit. Ya!!!

As Matt awoke from his drug-induced coma, some of his first words were "Kenny Chesney" and "chair", which happens to be one of his favorite songs. So, mom started to sing "Old Blue Chair" by Kenney Chesney. Amusingly though, mom didn't remember all of the words, so she started to make them up as she went along. ;-)

Matt is still in quite a bit of pain, so we have to give him his rest. But, this is amazing progress! As Sami would say, he is a soldier! He is proving all the doctors wrong, regarding how long his recovery process would be. Go Matt!
