Matt’s still is doing the big moves.  He’s gotten alot quicker, smoother and very motivated with the sit up thing that we have had him doing now for 2 weeks.  It’s becoming more of one continuous movement most times.  He really grunts it out now.  Matt also had his MRI last Monday the 19th.  It was a long scan lasting close to an hour.  I stayed in the room with him, it was very loud and at one point we had to stop and I had to talk to Matt to get him to lye still, telling him he was half way done but he needs to lye still.  We resumed the scan and Matt stayed very still and we got some good images.  I hope to get those on a disk in the next week then we can go back to Dr. Lobatz with all the results of both tests and go from there.  I’ve also changed Matt’s eye glasses because of some things I was noticed with his previous prescription.  Matt seems to track much better now than in the past few months so we made an appointment for Matt to be seen by the eye doctor in Carlsbad for this Thursday.  He will have an eye exam and evaluation and I do really think the eyeglass prescription will be changed to reflect the improvement.  With all of this Matt continues to move forward in his recovery.  I also had the chance to meet someone today with some real first hand TBI experience.  I talked to this person in length and this persons wife turns out to be a doctor that after investigating that seems  like someone else that is very local and may be a wealth of information and possibly able to see Matt for some treatment of another type.  It’s amazing how so many helpful people and contacts seem to drop into our lives at the right time.  It keeps us all moving forward day by day.
