Matt didn't have a great day yesterday. He felt sick to his stomach and so didn't do that well at rehab. However he still managed to stand up twice which is still progress.
Today Matt was feeling well enough to venture out to Rutherford Arena to watch Rocky play sledge hockey. You sit on a sled upright with your legs strapped in front of you so you can play hockey. It would be interesting to see how it is done. Rehab wasn't very successful today. Matt was having such bad spasms they had to stop. They are trying to figure out why it is so bad. Blood was taken, urine sample sent, x-ray of his chest done. They was no infection but they noticed the bottom part of the lungs are collapsed. However Matt is still breathing well and O2 Sats are 97%. I believe God made Matt's lungs extra large for just such an occassion! He has more than enough to go around. Colossians 1:15-16 "He (Christ)is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities: all things were created by him and for him."
Matt is able to move his left wrist slightly when someone is holding his hand up. And he finds it much easier to close his left hand rather than open it. More progress!!
More company from the wild University students. They really brighten Matt's day.
Couldn't get much more info from Matt. He was watching "American Idol" on TV. Anyone who knows Matt can attest that his attention span when the TV is on is zero! Except to the TV of course. I will have to come down and stand in front of the TV to get his attention!

Hi Matthew & George.
Talked to your mom today. It was good to hear from her. She can't wait to get back to Saskatoon to be with you. So how are things going with you and dad today? Did he beat you in crib again or did you win this time? Now, be nice and play fair!!!!
The weather is getting a little nicer. Should be really nice by the weekend. I am NOT a winter person.
Glad to hear you got out to go watch your friend Rocky - maybe you will be able to give it a try soon. That would be fun.
Talk to you soon. Take care and love to you always.
