Matt has lost his zero turn wheelchair. I never realized it wasn't actually his and now someone else needs it. He is still waiting for one that is made for him . So I hope whoever has it enjoys and can use all the gadgets dad had added to it. The old wheelchair is uncomfortable and Matt can only stay up for 3 hours in it. But hopefully his custom made chair will arrive before Christmas. Then he can go home in style!
I had talked to mom for a brief time, and she was excited that they found a hospital bed in Hudson Bay we can use. Just a few more details to work out (like building a ramp into the house) but we have great faith that if Matt is meant to come home, everything will work out.
Today was an assessment day to see how much Matt could do. They were surprised when they asked Matt if he could roll over. He said no but would try. They bent his right leg and placed it over his left leg and darned if he didn't roll over! I asked Matt if he used a bar to pull himself by using his right arm or hand, but he said no. He just used momentum of his body to roll himself. Matt, I love writing the blog with so much good happening. Praise for continued answers to prayer. 1 Thess. 5:16 "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus".
Just an added note; Nolan is coming to Saskatoon for the weekend and is looking at renting or taking Matt to JT's for the football game. If anyone can make it that would be great. It will be the first time Matt has been off hospital grounds in 5 months. Hopefully it all works out.

Matt, you are a great inspiration, and I too enjoy reading your blog, it starts my day. With so much changing for you, I applaud you. I can't help but think about you everytime someone brings up the Riders, you are a great fan. It is sure nice this year to be a fan. Do you think they are going to do it?
Well you take care and keep working on your progress. We continue to lift you up to the Great Healer in prayer. And we will be cheering along with you for that big game.
Love Deb
Well Matt, I think each and every day we read the blog, we're all surprised by how quickly you're making progress. Sounds like you even surprised yourself with the roll over. Way to go.
Okay, tiny joke for you today.
A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl: replied, "They will in a minute."
Love and prayers from the Hertz's
