Matthew Kurz - Updates & Prayers

Periodic updates on Matthew's condition and ongoing prayers and words of encouragement for Matthew and his family.

April 06, 2006

Update - 4/5/06 follow-up

Brenda just called me and said the orthopedic doctor decided not to take the loose screw from the plate out yesterday. He decided to give Matthew's incision a little longer to heal on it's own. If it doesn't close up in the next 3-4 weeks, then they will go in and remove all nine screws and the plate because the bone has healed just fine. Head trauma patients' bodies will over produce bone when they are healing and that has happened for Matthew - one area of the collarbone is larger than the other side. No cause for concern about that at this time.

Brenda also said that Matthew did something very normal yesterday that was exciting to see: he pushed his glasses up on his nose by himself. Once again we rejoice in the little things!

God be with you this day!
