In a new CaringBridge post, Matson's family said he was able to go outside in a wheelchair for a brief period of time.

"He loved feeling the sun on his face and we enjoyed being out in the fresh air after almost a month of being in the hospital!" the post stated.

"Arik has been super smiley the last few days and you can tell he's just as proud of his progress as we are," family went on to say in the post. "He's in good spirits and loving all the visits he gets. Keep those prayers and good vibes coming!"

Matson's family said he is working with physical and occupational therapists to continue to grow stronger.
