I too believe that the power of prayer is a very great thing. Not only has Matt survived he is on the way to recovery!

Here is the latest update which is copied from an email from one of his fellow officers...

I went to see Matt this morning (4/22) at York Hospital. Matt was asleep, and I was told it was because he met and exceeded expectations last night doing physical therapy. I had a chance to talk to his parents, who related that they continue to be touched by the support shown by fellow officers. Matt is doing extraordinarily well, and has surpassed any expectation the doctors had for him. Last night he was up and walking, and, obviously, did physical therapy. The doctors are currently planning to take his central line out so that he has fewer wires and tubes attached for therapy purposes. It was reported that the only reason he hasn't been transferred to the transitional ICU from the trauma ICU is because there aren't enough beds.

Having been through PT and DT with Matt, I know that he will be on his way back to patrol in no time. He has always shown great strength and endurance in everything that he does, and this will be no different.

Please continue to keep Matt and his family in your prayers.​

Definitely keeping this officer in our prayers! My cousin, Ralph Painter, was the chief of police in Rainier, Oregon. He was shot and killed in the line of duty in January of this year by some creepy little meth head trying to steal a car from a car stereo shop. Shot Ralph with his own sidearm.

Crooks suck. I hope Officer Groff continues to improve and makes a full recovery. God bless his family and community and the people he serves.
