Well, we tried but Matt is not quite ready for inpatient rehab now even though the doctors and therapist all agree on one thing, Matt has made and is continuing to make amazing progress.  The doctors report is stressing that we continue doing whatever it is that we are doing and to keep asking for follow up evaluations because as he put it, there is definitely some healing going on here.  Therapist have said that the more intelligent someone is the better the outcome as well as youth and heath all factor into what everyone sees an a potentially good outcome.  Matt has all of this in his favor, it just takes time and allot of love and attention.  That’s why we have all decided that what’s best for Matt is to come home and with the therapist Kaiser provides and what we learn from them we can provide much more than what’s happening at the Kaiser hospital.  Lisa and I also have professionals from the outside as well as equipment coming in the next week to provide a constant program of rehab to keep things moving in the right direction.  It will be allot of work but we won’t have the constant issues of commute times that are time that we could and should be spending with Matt as well as the constant love and in home environment that will all help Matt in a positive way.  It’s all about providing the best possible care and highest quality time for Matt now.  We thank you all for your work and effort in keeping Matt’s best recovery in mind and ask for your continued prayers and positive thoughts and energy flowing in our direction.  We all know that Matt feels the love.   We will keep you posted on when he will be home as well as how we work out visitation times once we are at home and settled. 

Love you all,

Mario, Lisa, Brittney, Matthew, Lindsey, Joan and Jerry
