Finally we have found a van big enough to transport Matthew. The original idea was to borrow a van from another quad patient, but it was just too small. They tried everything, but Matt would just not fit. Then he became very cold with all the maneuvering. So took awhile to warm up. Another quad patient was able to let us try out her old 1988 van, which will work. It is a bit of a gas guzzler, but it will work!! So it definitely sounds like Matt will be home on the 22nd of December. So now it is safe to tell everyone about a little get together they are planning for Matt at the skating rink in Porcupine There will be a hockey game between Kinistino and Porcupine, there will be a few silent auctions and raffles, and a dance afterwards. So mark December 29th on your calendar and be there at 7:30 p.m. For further information contact Dwayne Thorpe at 278-3163.
Matt didn't have the best day yesterday. Still not feeling well from the antibiotics so he didn't do well at rehab. They had a staff/patient Christmas party, but Matt was only able to atttend for a few minutes. That's alright Matt, you will make up for it when you go home.
I would like to write more but my computer is acting up an it has taken me 1/2 hour to write this, so will write more tonight.

Hi Matthew & Family.
Glad to hear that things are going as planned for you to get to Weekes for Christmas. We will try visit the evening of the 25th or on the 26th before we go back home.
That is exciting to hear about the benefit planned for you. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun. We hope to be there for sure.
Is your mom back yet? Your dad will be ready for a little break. You are one lucky guy to have such dedicated parents.
Talk to you soon.
Love Aunty Sandy & Uncle Orest
I am SO happy for you Matt! What a HUGE answer to prayer!
Blessings and Safe travels in your "new" gas guzzler! ;o)

Wow! Home for Christmas. That is just super. Looks like the weather won't be -40 either.
As others have said - big answer to prayer. Bet you can hardly wait.
Here's wishing you and your entire family a Christmas blessed with the love that Jesus came to give, on that first Christmas night, so very long ago.
Have a wonderful time.

Wow Matt...how very exciting! I am so glad that you will be able to go home for Christmas and be with your family and friends for the holidays and get a chance to be away from the hospital for a little while.
I wish we could be there with you to celebrate! We are spending Christmas with Darcy's family as Mom and Dad are in Arizona.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...and have so much fun at home! Say hi and pass on my holiday wishes to your family!
