This makes two unlucky hero type head bangers I'm following, Matt and Michael Schumacher.

Good luck to both you guys.

I just stopped by to see Matt.  He looks good, but he was sound asleep.  He has been responding to Brooke, his wife, but isn't able to speak.  He can signal a little by blinking his eyes.

They inserted a breathing tube in his throat yesterday (tracheotomy) and a feeding tube in his stomach, so his mouth is clear of tubes.  They tried letting him breathe on his own today and he was able to do so for five hours.  They've put him back on a machine to let him rest.

The pneumonia is gone.  His chest x-ray looks good.  He seems comfortable now.

He gave the doctor a thumbs up sign with his right hand this afternoon.  That's significant because he had only done it with his left hand previously.  Matt is left handed, so maybe that's no surprise.

I've been away a lot and have only just seen this - as so many others have said, it's quite shocking!

It's great to hear Matt is on the improve, and I know Brooke and the rest of the family will be feeling a lot of relief.

It's these sorts of things that come out of the blue that I think serve to remind us all to do what we love and love what we do - it can all be gone in an instant.

Best wishes to Matt, Brooke and the kids from Perth, Aus.

I am a firm believer in that that counts and trust that you will soon recover. My thought go from Sweden to you and your family. /Olle

If that's the case, stay strong Matt.  It's obvious you have an incredible and powerful mind.  You can will yourself back from this.  Your family, and your extended JRiver family, need you.  We are all pulling for you.

Jim, I hope that Brooke knows that we all appreciate the updates. Recovering from a traumatic injury is always a roller coaster. Our bodies are rhythmic and recovering from an event that disrupts that natural rhythm requires time and patience, but it will eventually happen!

It's good to hear Matt is getting better. I also follow Brooke's posts every day. I'm amazed by the strength she is showing in writing to all of us (and many other people) - many of whom only know Matt from this forum.

I sincerely wish Matt, Brooke and their children all the best in these difficult times. Having a family myself I can only begin to understand just how difficult this situation must be.


All the best,
Mikkel

When something like this happens it makes you stop and think about how fortunate we are to only be worrying about the "little things" like getting bit-perfect audio and jitter free video playback. We all need to stop every now and then and spend time with our loved ones and enjoy the things that are truly important.

Matt... we need you back !!!   Hang in there...  I was in a bad motorcycle accident back in 1999... concussion and 3rd degree burns... and compound fracture of my left wrist (I'm left handed too).  My first question on waking up in ER was "where is my chap-stick" and "can I still type" ?

They all laughed at me when I called my manager and said I'd be back "maybe next week"...

It was 10 days in intensive care... and weeks in the "multiple trauma ward" before I was released.  Then 2 months later I was cleared to return to work.  HR would only let me return for 2 hours day.. WTF...

And after 2 hours... I was beat.. it takes time to recover and return to normal hours.  A software release I worked on before the accident was released while I was out... whew.. worked perfectly.

Take all the time you need to recover.

I saw that Matt's account was active for a bit yesterday on Interact (made me jump).  Then I realised it was probably his phone that they have hooked up.  Still, it was good to see Matt appear.

Edit - and active again just now!  I'm starting to think (wish) he sneaks out of bed at night and logins to just check everything is OK.

He sat in a chair again yesterday for a while.  Brooke said he had his eyes open for 30 minutes or so.  He seemed bothered by something part of the time.  I told her I think that's a good sign.  It means he has some awareness and maybe he's trying to "wake up".

I think that after taking the time to listen carefully, he could finally hear a clear difference between a .wav and .flac file of the exact same track. And that the power cable used to connect the stereo in his room made the music sound "brighter". :)

I have been following this thread and the Caring Pages and check in a few times a day.  Not really sure what to say that isn't obvious or been said many times above.  I guess I just want to add to the support.  Given everything Matt and the JRiver team do to support the most important non-living part of my world (music), I felt I should at least offer well wishes.

Although I have never met Matt, he is obviously an extraordinary man.  The fact that he even has a presence here in the Fourm, and we all "know" him, speaks volumes for both JRiver and Matt personally.

See you soon,
Patrick
