No Surgery Today

Matt is better rested today and looking forward to a visit with a fellow soldier. He is thankful that he was not scheduled for surgery today, allowing him some time to rest and recover. We do not have a definite plan yet for this next surgery, but believe it may be Monday.

Matt is enjoying the cards that friends and family have sent, and the photos of his family on posters in his room. Thank you to all who have sent encouragement in the mail and posted messages to him on this site. The hospital rooms do not have internet hook-ups, but the messages are being printed out and mailed to him for now.

Matt,

I love you and continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I can't even imagine the strength you have had to summon up to face each new day of recovery. I hope they will be better able to control the pain and that it will lessen with each day's passing. Have a good day today.

Lammers
The guys in the three shop told me about your WEB page. So I had to check it out today when we got back. I have the greatest confindence in your recovery your at the start of a long road which will take a tremendous amount of dedication. I know you have the intestinal fortitude to come out on top. I'm pulling for you and wish you the best. By the looks of this web page you have great support from the most important things in life, family and friends. My wife attends a local church at Riley and I've already asked her to place you on the prayer list. I think of you often and I'll never forget SGT Lammers. I look forward to knowing Matt Lammers for the rest of my life. Good Luck, Best Wishes

Hi Matt: Your friend Justin told me about you and I am writing to let you know I am here for you. Not only will you have my physical support, you will be in my daily prayers. You are a tough young soldier and I know you will come through this with flying colors. Just remember that you are not alone, please. May God bless you, Matt.

Matt,
You have no idea how many people are praying for you. People you love pass on updates about you, and ask for more prayer. This one comes from the Missouri Ozarks! Hope you are pain free soon, and home with your family.
