Matthew Kurz - Updates & Prayers

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

May 10, 2006

Update - 5/10/06

Folks, I'm swamped at work and at home so I don't have time to give you all the details on Matthew's recent progress, but I do want you to know ASAP that Matthew will be having surgery on Thurdsay at 3:30 p.m. They need to remove the plate and screws that were put in to hold his collarbone in the correct position. The screws are working their way out and can potentially cause Matthew lots of problems. The collarbone looks good so the procedure shouldn't be any problem, but it IS surgery. He will probably have to be kept overnight in the hospital because the surgery is later in the day.

We are hopeful that another surgery procedure doesn't set Matthew back in his progress.

Thank you for your prayers!

Our son Patrick was hit by lightning in '03 and also has a severe brain injury as he suffered a heart attack, and lost oxygen. Although I have not read all your updates,I can understand what you are going through. We refered to it as "baby steps" it all takes time and prayers.
