Sunday was a difficult day mentally for Matt. He had went outside with dad and the weather was quite beautiful. However with warmer weather brings people riding bikes, playing ball, tossing a frisbee. Matt was finding it really hard to see everyone having fun and he couldn't do the same things. Depression had set in and would not give up its hold. Monday was another mentally exhausting day. He tried to do his exercises but felt he couldn't breathe. Anxiety hit him like a ton of bricks. He said he tried so many things to shake it off but it stuck. I had talked to mom last night and I think she really needs a lifting of her spirits. The world can get pretty heavy and the weight just continues to push down on her. Then when I spoke to Matt, the same feelings that mom was experienceing was being felt by Matt as well.
However by the end of the conversation, Matt said he was feeling a bit better, and I prayed that the night would not be endless and today would be a better day. I think the trigger was hearing that Matt would be moved to Parkridge Nursing Home within the week. Mom does not want Matt to go and is not sure what to do. Parkridge does have a step down rehab, but it is not as intense as City and we don't want Matt to lose what he has. We want him to continue to gain in strength and abilities. So prayers for God to show us the way. We are not sure what to pray for and this verse says it best. Romans 8:26 "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express".

hi Matt-well I have the computor running again-we emptied the living room and put down some laminate flooring (between calving, lambing, wedding plans, ...) Got it hooked up tonight but Bryce goes to a pasture managers meeting tomorrow and has to take it in-so, hopefully we have another one by the weekend! Glad to see the snow going-the ice went out of the river at Bertwell. take care yy
Still praying for you Matt! Also praying for your mom and dad. It's been a long haul for all of you and sometimes, the rest of us take life's everyday pleasures for granted which none of us should. You hang in there and we'll pray that God has the best place available for you to continue with your rehab and improvements.

Dear Matt,
I hope you know that I am thinking of you and praying for you everyday.. Things will get better Hun, you just have to keep your drive in full speed ahead and before you know it you will be home with your family and happier than you can imagine.
Here's a little something for you to think about..
Jesus answered, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be affraid."
~John 14:27
See you soon,
Love Krista
Hello Matt: what can we say except we are praying for you. It was hard to move from RUH to city. Looking back you've come a long way. Now press on to your goal looking forward. This will take alot of work on your part and when you're tired have a rest then go at it again and look to get around another corner.
a favorite verse: Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee. Isaiah26:3
sorry I didn't sign the last one.
and it will be closer for mom and dad to drive.
