Another Good Day
Before I get started just want to clarify it was 1/4 lb weights and not 1/2 lb weights. Still good though. Physio/Occupational therapist come up every day for one hour and work with Matt. Today they brought him a remote control for the TV that he can control with his head. She was so amazed at how fast Matt understood. Usually she has to explain it many times. She also stated she felt some movement in Matt's left middle toe, although he couldn't see it. Small blessings lead up to big things. He was only sick once today and otherwise ate fine. Still needs more protein in his diet to help him heal. Had quite a few visitors and they are always welcome. They were even able to hear Matt talk when the respiratory therapist deflated his cuff. Tomorrow Matt is meeting with a fellow who was injured years ago and is now a paraplegic. He is a computer whiz and will set Matt up with a computer that is eye/voice activated so he can play some games and surf the net. Just temporary until he gets the use of his hands back. He will have to buy the computer, so we will look into that. No way Gary could beat him then! On a sad note, the rookie's are being called into the game because the head cheerleader needs to go back to work. Mom is leaving in the morning, first time in 3 months. But the rookie's are ready to go, cheering all the way. And the head coach is always with Matt. Joshua 1:5 (shortened version) "I will never leave you nor forsake you." But any one who wants to stop in for a few minutes, especially in the evenings would be great. The more the merrier!

We read the blog everyday and are so excited to see your progress, and are very thankful to your sisters for their faithfullness to us that look so forward to see how you have done each day. Thanks girls.
You are doing great Matt. Your mom will be with you even when she is not right at your side each day. You just keep getting stronger, rehab will get you where you need to be.
The weather is very fall like here, don't like it much but can't do anything about it, so will enjoy the coolness anyways.
You go Matt, and we will be praying for you everyday.

Good afternoon Matt,
Good to hear of your improvements. Little by little, day by day. I'm sure it's probably hard for you to see the improvements like those of us who don't get to see you that often, but we are the ones that are amazed. It's amazing what prayer will do - eh?
Well, I heard to love company so like I said earlier, I'll be coming into Saskatoon to help Dan and Erin paint the house they purchased at Hague. Not sure which day or evening I'll make it in there, but I definitely will come up to see you. I'm hoping to bring you some home baking. Not sure what you like or what would be good for you. Maybe the gals could leave some suggestions on the next blog so I can get the baking done before Tuesday evening.
I'm coming up on Wednesday sometime and going back home Saturday as far as I know. I'm looking forward to having a chat with you.
Take care.
Bev for the Hertz's
