Sorry it has taken so long to update. Even I get confused about who is with Matt. All Thursday evening I kept trying to call mom's cell phone and then realized at 1030pm that it was dad with Matt.
Thursday after Matt left he was so tired he slept from noon until 6pm, and then slept most of the night as well. A good catch-up day for sleep. All that exercise makes even me sleepy writing about it!
Friday Matt had one session of physio and was able to practice standing. He even tried a Sask pole, a pole that they will put beside someone's bed that needs assistance getting to a standing position. It reaches from the ceiling to the floor. However Matt doesn't have the grip strength yet to pull himself up. When they asked Matt to try and take a step forward while he was standing by the parallel bars, he said it was like he forgot how. And that is the way it is. Matt will have to train his body all over again, telling his knee to bend and push off with his foot, etc. The nerves that were damaged can't get the impulses through consistently, even if the brain is telling it too.
Today Matt didn't get up until 130pm! Lazy bum! I guess he was so tired from the long week of getting up early and the physio.
While talking to Matt on the phone, he was holding the cell phone the whole time which is another improvement. Dad was busy hooking Matt up to the Tens machine to stimulate the left arm to move. Dad says it looks like a chicken after the head comes off!! Sorry for those with a weak stomach but it is a fairly accurate description.
Matt also got a haircut and looks as cute as ever. He played crib with dad and skunked him so bad dad is sulking!
I don't have a verse for today. I am at Jacki's babysitting and have just got the kids to bed. Thank goodness Nolan and Lindsay showed up when they did. I had the three kids in the tub and little Amy was determined she was going to join the action... fully clothed!
