Tim Horton's
Matt right hand is getting so much stronger, he was able to pick up one of Tim Horton's timbits today. He could almost get it to his mouth, but it fell out of his grasp. Once they put it in Matt's hand and closed his fingers around it, he could then bring it too his mouth. Keep up the good work. Those timbits will put weight on your body! Matt was also able to pick up a ball that was put close to his hand, then he flicked his wrist, and threw the ball over the side of the bed! So much progress is great to hear. Tubby time in the whirlpool today, so his body is now as clean as his hair! Mom was glad to see him looking and smelling so good before she left. She must return to work again, and will not be back until next Wednesday. She will be amazed at what Matt can do by then. Trach trials continue to go well, and they are going to continue to keep Matt on the ventilator at night, to make sure that his infection is gone and ensure he is getting enough moisture. While during the trach trials, Matt is on 35%O2 with moisture (that is the lowest it can go), and his cuff is deflated so he can talk. But at night, the ventilator helps him to breathe and the O2 and moisture are higher. The deadline is Christmas for Matt to be off the ventilator, so they don't want any setbacks. This way, they can almost guarantee success. Matt 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Hi Matt-glad to hear you got a new bed-and that you are getting much stronger-not only are you squeeky clean but I bet the whirlpool feels good as well as helps with your circulation. We rejoice with you! Today,Pineridge hosted the EMC conference, it was a full-fun day. Keep looking up!!!yy
Matt you are amazing - every day seems to be such a big leap forward. Keep up the good work. Must be nice to have a bed that fits. Christmas is coming very quickly - and we are all praying you have the ventilator gone by then - what a christmas present for the whole family. Thinking of you all the time - love you.. Aunty Brenda & uncle Bob

Good Morning Matthew.
Glad to hear you have been having such good days. I love to read that on your blog.
It was great to see you, your mom and dad and Auntie Karen on Friday. You and your dad did a great job of hiding the invitation (that I was told later, was hanging on your wall) for my surprise party. You sneaky guys. I am so glad your mom was able to come celebrate with us. It was an awesome party. Caught me completely by surprise. Wish you could have joined me.
Will see you soon. Keep up the amazing progress. Just what we love to read.
Love Aunty Sandy
Hey Matt! You are such an amazing guy! No wonder we all love you so much! Finally, a bed that fits! That was a long wait! We sure hope you won't have to wait much longer for a more comfortable chair. Sounds like you had a lot of company this weekend. That's great! Hopefully we can make it there after I've finished report cards. It sure sounds like you're making wonderful progress. Keep working hard! Keep practising throwing balls so you can pitch one at Nolan next time he thinks he can tease you with a fry! Ha! Can't wait to see you! Love to all!
Love, Shannon, Ray, Brett, Kiera, and Kaylie xoxoxo
Hey Matty,
Sorry I have been gone so long. There just isn't enough hours in a day. I'm glad to hear that your hand is getting stonger, keep up the progress and eat lots of those tim bits.
Your little buddy Brendan
