Update - 10/27/07
Praise the Lord! More good news!
Matthew's feed tube was removed this week!!!! He has been eating solid food consistently for several months and is asking for food and water, so the doctor decided it wasn't necessary to leave the feeding tube in any longer. What a blessing!!!
The length that Matthew is able to walk increases daily and weekly. Matthew has now walked over 300 feet at one time with the walker. What an incredible accomplishment!
I don't have any negative news to share - only good news. Matthew's speech and vocal abilities continue to progress and he's doing a great job of speaking in sentences. His mother said there are times when they can almost carry on a conversation with him, rather than just give directions and get responses.
I'm glad to hear from the comments on the previous blog message that people continue to check the blog for Matthew's updates. It is most encouraging to know that Matthew and his family are still in people's prayers and on their minds. I totally agree with one of the comments - that Matthew's parents are doing a wonderful job of taking care of him. He gets incredible daily care from his family and they will never give up on this child of God.

The Sedalia Democrat newspaper ran another article about Matthew and his therapy on Nov. 3. Check out their website, www.sedaliademocrat.com The easiest way to get to that story is to search the site with "Kurz" Wonderfully written story with some pics. Keep it up, Matthew! With God, all things are possible!
