Shelley is in Sask till Thursday.Jonmarie and Shaunie got to visit their uncle Matt today, playing in gym and riding the wheelchair with Matt.
He was expecting his trach to be removed Friday but was suprised when it was done today. He was very anxious with the entire experience but in the end did fine.
There is also an apparatus to assist him with standing which takes 80lbs off the legs , so this is a great asset to his rehab.
After a meeting with the patient advocate today Matts discharge date is for now "unknown", this will give more planning time for this eventuality.
In Mike Horns Book Conquering the Impossible he uses 2 quuotes :
"We say something is impossible if no one has ever tried it"-Alexis De Tocqueville.
"The Impossible is the only adversary worthy of man"-Andree Chedid
Matt has always believed that he will walk out of that hospital in spite of what all the medical experts there have been telling him, he is not a statistic, or just a number who needs to be discharged ASAP so as to keep the almighty health budget on track.I wish they would ignore the statistics and look and the man and what he has achieved to date and give him the best chance they can.
Oh but we can only hope and pray that somebody will see the light.
Regards to all, thanks for all the prayers and support, it means the world to Matt.
John.

Farewell to the trach-another milestone reached!!
Does taking some weight off those long legs help relieve the dizzyness when upright Matt? Keep up the good work and remember there are lots of people praying for you-Keep your chin high!!!and keep smiling and giving those girls rides on your chair-you'll be the special uncle for sure!!yy
Hey Matt! Special day to have the trach out. Bet it feels good. Sure was good to see your mom on Sunday at the Valentines banquet. Still praying for you. I know it's slow for you and probably frustrating at times, but for the rest of us, we are still amazed, each time we read the blog. Hang in there and keep up the good work.
