Seeking Comfort From His Mother

After the surgery, Matthew stayed at the ICU for close monitoring for twenty-four hours before he was released to the VIP room where only family and friends were allowed. The doctors put him into a medically induced coma, because of the mild swelling of his head due to concussion. They hoped for the swelling to gradually subside in the next five days and then after that, they would see if they could start pulling him out of coma. 

Belle and Arthur never left their son's bedside. They practically lived in Matthew's hospital room. Thankfully, the room has an extra bed for family members and a living area where they could stay. Matthew's younger brother is visiting every day. 

Matthew's friends visit every day as well but they were not allowed to visit all at once because it would crowd the room. They visit one or two at a time and they never fail to visit even though they know that Matthew will not be waking up soon.
