The doctors had given up on him. It was only a question of when the life-support machines would be switched off.<\/p>\n<p>For over a week, his cerebrum sent no signals that could have been measured on an EEG. Only the brain stem still showed mild activity.<\/p>\n<p>And then - surprisingly, shockingly, delightfully - Matthias woke up again and regained consciousness. In my blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/kerstinhack.de\/en\/believe-2\/the-second-best-easter-ever-hes-back\/\">The second best Easter ever<\/a> I told you the details.<\/p>\n<p>A man told me yesterday that his wife, who describes herself as a \u201enon-believer\u201c, said afterwards: \u201eWhat happened to Matthias challenges my unbelief!\u201c<\/p>\n<p>And - contrary to all medical prognoses - he recovered visibly and regained abilities that doctors would not have thought possible.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Standing, walking with a stick, walking independently.<\/li>\n<li>Understanding something, speaking words, speaking sentences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Yesterday, he spent four hours talking to different people. Asked how they were doing. And told them how he was doing.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201eI'm not completely healthy yet. Somewhere in the middle. I can't work yet (note that still in the sentence!). But I can speak a lot more than others. I am grateful. I'm alive!\u201c<\/p>\n<p><strong>His condition now<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>He can walk, but the right side is still restricted, I don't know what it's called medically, but it looks like spasticity, fingers and legs are not so easy to bend and coordinate.<\/li>\n<li>He can speak and is easy to understand 98% of the time...German is easier for him than English. Sometimes he speaks slightly \u201emumbling\u201c...no comparison to a year ago, when I sometimes had to ask him to repeat himself 10 times before I could understand him.<\/li>\n<li>His eyes are focussing better. Immediately after the stroke, he saw everything x-fold. This reduced to 6, 5, 4, 3 - now he sees things twice, which is of course very tiring. Reading and writing are still not or hardly possible.<\/li>\n<li>He realises and understands things much better, complex things or jokes are still difficult. When we toasted my ship and his father-in-law said: \u201eDon't drink too much or I'll get into trouble with two women!\u201c he didn't understand. When I explained it more simply, he did understand: \u201eIf you drink too much, (your wife) Kim and (your mother-in-law) Jody will be mad at David for not taking good care of you!\u201c<\/li>\n<li>He is present and reacts - quite different from last year in December, when he often stared ahead...<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201eI am so grateful... \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Matthias said this sentence a few dozen times yesterday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I am also sooo grateful<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>That he is alive<\/li>\n<li>That the restrictions are far less severe than expected<\/li>\n<li>That his brain and also his soul (he was often depressed in the spring) are increasingly recovering.<\/li>\n<li>That we could marvel at my ship together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Please continue to pray for him\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>That the right side of the body becomes fully functional again<\/li>\n<li>That his brain continues to recover quickly and understanding and memory increase<\/li>\n<li>That his eyes will soon see clearly<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Es ist 12 Stunden her, doch in meinen Augen stehen immer noch die Tr\u00e4nen.
