Was able to speak with mom for a few minutes tonight. Matt missed his physio this am because they felt Matt needed a good "cleaning out" before getting him up in his chair. I beg to differ, physio should come before that other stuff but he was able to go to the gym for the afternoon session. We as a family realize the huge amount of physio needed to get Matt up walking again, it isn't easy to exercise that 6 foot 7 inch frame! But we truly believe it is attainable, so prayers that those working with him will come to realize it as well. Job 12:13 "To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his." If we could just glimpse at what God has in store and to see what He can see would ease our worries and anxiety. But Hebrews 11:1 states"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
Matt said he is feeling better and they now think his lung infection was caused by a virus, not a bacterial infection, so antibiotics will not help. However to be on the safe side they decided to give him antibiotics anyway orally. The medication usually makes him nauseated but he managed to eat most of his meals in spite of the meds side effects.
Matt, even though we are not with you physically, as Jonmarie puts it, you are always in our hearts. Keep the faith Matt. Cheerleaders form across the globe are praying for you.

Nolan, I have your hoodie in a larger size, so when I see your mom next time, I will give it to her. If it is still too small, you can exchange it for a different one. You know where to find the owner of the store. Ha!
Take care and God Bless you all.

It was great they all got to visit you a little while at the rink! I got a little calendar of thots as a gift and todays said this..God puts each fresh morning, each new chance of life, into our hands as a gift to see what we will do with it. Take time to notice all the usually unnoticed, simple things in life...Keep smiling Matt and brightening peoples day! Take care yy

Happy New Year! I have missed not being able to read the blog for the past couple of weeks! So glad to hear that you made it home for Xmas! I know that was very important to you and your family. Wish we could have been at that hockey game! Sounds like a great time! We had a great trip to Phoenix. Brett and Ray went to see the Suns, Cardinals, and Coyotes while we were there, so it was a great sport's fan's vacation! Ha! I'm glad that you're back in S'toon, feeling better, and back in rehab, so you can get back to the very hard work of recovery. You can do it!!
With love and prayers from some of your cheerleaders, Shannon, Ray, Brett, Kiera, and Kaylie xoxoxo
Hey Matt;
Glad to hear that you made it back to Saskatoon safe and sound. The work you do really seems to be working wonders...I am amazed every time I read the blog at what you have accomplished.

Take Care
Love Heather
