Update Day 2 (morning): January 18, 2013

Matt had a good night. He didn't get to sleep that well because there were nurses coming in and out  checking on him. They did give him the max dose that they could for pain because he said it was a 10 out of 10 between his head and where they cut his jaw muscle. I stayed with him in the ICU through the night in case he woke up thirsty. He was able to eat 2 saltine crackers. They brought him breakfast but he didn't have the appetite for it, and the smell made him sick. They have started him on anti-seizure medication, for only precautionary measures.  An MRI is ordered for sometime today between the hours of 10am and 4pm, they like to give you a good estimate on time! He'll most likely be moved to a regular room tonight if he continues to improve. He's a pretty good patient minus him asking them to stop jacking on his catheter like they're riding a horse. He mostly tries to sleep but knows who has been here visiting and very appreciative of all the kind words, prayers, love, and support. I have been reading the texts you all have sent him. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We know some of you have been down on your knees, and/or fasting for him. Words will never be able to express our gratitude.
