There are 10 stages to brain recovery, and at this point in time Matt is at Stage 3. He is awake, and off the ventilator, but can't completely comprehend what is going on around him. He will mumble sentences, some of which makes sense and some which do not. And periodically he will respond to a question you ask him. He is very aggitated and figgity; he desperately wants to pull out his IV's and catheter. However, he senses when mom is around and seems to calm when she is in his presense. And when mom asks for kisses, he willingly obliges. He kissed mom, Naomi and Jenn today. Rick asked for a kiss, but got denied. Sorry Rick, apparently he's only willing to share his affections with the ladies! He also keeps telling mom that he loves her. When Ian walked into the room, Matt said, "What's up dude?", which gave everyone a good chuckle.
He will be at this stage for a few more days. At this stage we can only see him for very short periods of time, and must remain calm and quiet. This will help prevent too much brain stimulation, which is critical for healing and recovery.
We do not have the offical results of the MRI at this time.
