Whew!! Can't believe how cold Saskatchewan is. Was at Jacki's over the weekend and we where complaining because the windchill made it -17. What a bunch of babies we have become!
Matt's weekend was quiet, but had lots of company. When I talked to Matt tonight, I asked him what he was up to and said he was sitting in the chair watching TV. I then asked what dad was doing... Matt replied "laying in my bed". However dad did have to help Matt with the phone occasionally because his arm would get tired.
Matt has been doing breathing exercises to strengthen his lungs. He has to breathe in and hold it for as long as he can. It is a special device dad has to hold for him. Matt doesn't like it too much because it is difficult for him and he gets tired quickly, but he keeps at it whenever he can.
When I talked to Matt, he is still concerned about his left hand. So please pray tonight that his left hand will get motivated and start to perform. If he had his left hand, he would be able to transfer from a wheelchair to a bed more easily, turn in bed, and eventually Matt would not need a motorized wheelchair, he could "downgrade" to one he moves himself. Psalms 32:10 "Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him."

you picked the right weekend for a hayride Shelly-been a mite too frosty since!
Matt-you can do those deep breathing exercises while you watch TV-just to remember to do it often! We had a quiet day today too-I got another game for you to play too that would be easy for you and good hand exercise as well. Everyone beat me tonight but it was fun anyway!yy
Well, you hang in there. I know that following any surgeries that I've had, those deep breathing exercises were difficult, but it sure made a difference in the end. We sure haven't given up praying for you either.
Not sure you'd like to be out in the cold these days. I must be getting old. Can't take the heat and can't take the cold either. What does a person do with it.
I've got a blonde joke for you. This overweight blonde went to see her dr about losing weight and so her dr told her that she should eat healthy for 2 days and then skip a day and he'd guarantee that she'd lose 5 pounds in a few weeks.
A few weeks later, she returned to the dr and he was amazed that she had lost 20 pounds. He asked her if she had starved herself to death. Oh no, she said. But I just about dropped dead from skipping (jump rope) that whole third day.
Psalm 119:18...
