Go Big - Go Blue - Go MATT

On June 5th, Matt’s life and his family’s life was turned upside down due to a farming accident. After being transported to Sanford Hospital in Aberdeen, it was decided that due to the extent of Matt’s injuries, he needed to be flown to Sioux Falls.  Once he arrived in Sioux Falls, he underwent surgery to: remove fragments from his skull, clean out and close his facial gouges, and repair his nose and cheek bones. On Wednesday, June 12th, Matt will undergo surgery to remove his left eye and have it replaced with a prosthetic. 

Matt’s wife, Melissa and his mom, Kristy have been in Sioux Falls, by his side, every step of the way. They have been staying in a hotel attached to Sanford Hospital. Matt and Melissa’s two daughters, Kylee (7) and Kendall (5) have been staying with family and friends and continuing their normal activities. 

Matt (and his family) have a long road ahead of them. Matt continues to show us signs of himself on a daily basis and that is extremely encouraging.  The family appreciates everyone’s thoughts and prayers through this journey they are on.
