Great news. Feel like you must have had an unimaginably shit time and I applaud your strength. Hope you're in the clear and back to normal before long.

Hey.

He's doing well. The left lung started to work after another operation, so while hes still on sedation and stable, he's starting to recover. He's on a ECMO machine for now until both his heart and lungs can finally function on their own again. He was going to be taken off it today but they are letting his heart get a bit stronger first.

He's getting there. We're taking it a day at a time and it's a long process. Probably here for another month or so at least

Well done. Breathe.
Did I see you post about this on Reddit by any chance?

Having had a wee baby in ICU for 3 months thinking of you and your family. :-)

So, so pleased to hear this. Absolutely fantastic news.

Remember that self-care is important too, fella. Can't imagine the stresses and strains this puts on you, but try and get some rest.

Good luck.

Reacher: I cannot begin to imagine what your family has been going through...

My wholehearted wishes to Matthew for a full and speedy recovery.

What wobbly said. I opened this thread with my heart in my mouth.

Really glad things are sounding positive and I hope it keeps that way.
