Thanks for all the support

Thanks to all for continued support of Matt and our family. Sometimes you feel like your in a bubble alone and it feels great when the bubble pops! Matt had a pretty good day. He bounces back so well from everything. Dad arrived at 1:30 pm and was glad to see Matt looking so chipper. Matt's day consisted of a bath, stretches, 3/4 hour on the mat, 1/2 in the gym, and an outing to Tim Horton's for coffee! Wish it wasn't so cold in Sask. but managed it anyway. Went by cab and really enjoyed it.
Dad said Matt had so much company from home that by the evening he was feeling pretty tired. Matt had also been up since 7 am and didn't nap much during the day. But when Kristen brought Matt some KFC, he seemed to bounce back! He ate most of the chicken, fries, and the drink by himself. However Kristen helped him with the last piece just so he could rest his arm. Thank you Lord for your continued hand upon Matt. Psalms 145:14 "The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down."
Another funny story about Matt came to mind while I was watching my daughter Shaunie. When Matt was learning to use the potty, he would whip his pants down 50 feet from the bathroom and waddle like a penguin the rest of the way. Thought it was quite funny until he started kindergarten and I was in Grade 12 and seen him coming down the hallway with "everything" on display because he needed to use the washroom. You should have seen me run that day1 Now my daughter does the same thing! Thanks for passing that on, Matt!

Hey Gusser
I have been keeping up to date with your blogs and wished i could have been home to see you but had to work. I wish you the best and hope your recovery keeps up. As some advise about recovery is to look at every day as a gift. Set little goals for every day and if you dont get to that goal ohwell there is always tommorrow. One of these days i will get some time to come see you its only been since july, one of these days. I wish you the best and hope your recovery keeps up.
Always Thinking of you,
