We're hoping you'll be able to let us know how he's doing. I remember only too well how hard it is to update everyone when your heart is so heavy with worry. I wish you strength to get through these difficult days. Just remember that others have gone through difficult complications during the coma and weathered them. Please G-d, make Matthews trials lessen day by day. Gayle Brooks We keep thinking of Matthew and praying today is a better day. We’re hoping you’ll be able to let us know how he’s doing.

I continue to pray daily for him. The greatest and most powerful tool is the rosary! Again, you're an inspiration to all of us. I also sent Matthew's name into Father McAlear's web site and they are all praying for him. Father McAlear has a powerful ministry of healing and often travels to Providence. Well, as I prepare for my wedding on Saturday, I will still keep Matthew and all of you close to my heart and bring all these intentions to the altar at St. Casimir's Church. God bless you all!

Please stay as positive as you can and believe that this will work for Matthew!! We went through a much longer than anticipated time in the coma and re-intubation, etc. Tracy has told us over and over how scary the hallucinations can be, and others have had very difficult times with them. But all have gotten through it, remember that! I am sure the heat is not helping any of you. I did not realize (we were there in Oct/Nov) that there is no airconditioning. I hope the heat wave ends quickly!!! No wonder they take such long vacations in the summer. With our fervent hope and prayers that tomorrow is a much better day for Matthew, and consequently for the rest of you! A friend once told me "You are only as happy as your least happy childl", and I so believe this. I know this has been a terrible ordeal for you, but things will get better. Postive thoughts and prayers. May G-d watch over Matthew and help through this as he begins coming back to a strong life! If you have skype, please feel free to call or e-mail me if I can help in any way.

I am so happy that you enjoyed "The Perfect Mistake" I thought of Matt when I read it, so I had to send it, I am glad you used it. I will keep praying every day, every chance I get, as if he were my own son.

We have never met but for months your son, Matthew , has made his way into my heart and I carry him there in daily prayer especially at daily Mass and the Rosary. I check several times a day to read the latest update on his current status and marvel that Nancy shares her precious time and energy with those of us who in a mysterious way are intimately connected . May His peace that surpasses all understanding be yours. Barbara I , too, am a mother of a son in his 20’s.

Faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1

I know.
Sometimes it’s hard
to put your trust
in things you can’t see,
or hear, or touch…
But, luckily, with a God like ours,
you don’t have to.
Because we can see Him
in the eyes,
hear Him in the voices,
and feel Him
in the touch
of people who care about us.

Even though we have never met, we anxiously read every comment you post. Through your words, we feel like we know you and your family. We feel your pain and worry. Like you, we hope and pray for the best outcome. Please know you are not alone.

All our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
