We had a great first night in the hospital, with about 8 hours of sleep, interupted only by 2 potty breaks by Mattie. Once he was going, his thigh started to bother him so they gave him some tylenol to help revlieve the pain and discomfort. He is doing really well, very talkative to all the nurses and other patients. He has a thing for our new nurse, Pam, who he asked to join him for dinner in the cafeteria last night! It was so cute, his first date proposal to a big person. She had to turn him down since she was working, but said she wished she could. Mattie's face went from a smile to a very sad frown, but he quickly moved on; mommy and daddy became quick subsitutes. He had a good appetite, eating most of a hot dog, bowl of fruit, curly fries and some jello! We had some excitement on the floor with police, hospital security and CPS showing up to investigate a situation with a family that had a little boy. I am not sure about what all was going on but Mattie was able to befriend 2 of the officiers who gave him stickers and entertained him, while they were here! I am amazed at how well he is doing, God is good! He is very happy about not needing a bath or wound change for a few days.
We are going to head to breakfast so I must go but I hope you all have a great Saturday!

Thank you so much for keeping this so current. What a huge praise!!! So glad to hear that Mattie's spirits are up. What a brave boy! We will keep praying! ~The Kinney's
I am so glad he is doing well!! Thanks for the updates. It helps so much so I know exactly how to pray!! I would love to be there with you today but it is Joey's birthday.
Mattie is amazing (of course, due to his amazing God and his amazing parents!). I can't believe how much JOY I have seen in Mattie over the last month. It sounds like he thinks he's on vacation or something!
I will be praying that his JOY continues and that any pain goes away quickly.
