Well, the house is all quiet. Matt, mom and dad went back to Saskatoon yesterday. It was such a flurry of activity that no one had time to be sad. It was raining heavily so Matt had to wait until the rain subsided until they loaded him up. The trip was long and Matt's neck was very sore. He told me if anyone has a neck they could loan him, to let us know!!
We didn't get to do many of the things we had planned. The weather did not cooperate Tuesday and we missed the ball game. But overall I think Matt enjoyed it. We did things a little unorthodox but he found out that he wasn't as fragile as he thought. We were very impressed with him on Monday night when we told him to push himself in his chair. He didn't think he could do it but with his gloves on for grip, he wheeled himself around my kitchen, and we only had to put his left hand back on the wheel when it came off a few times. Also he could use just his left arm/hand to turn the chair by pushing on the wheel. Very proud of you Matt. Just last week he couldn't do it that well and now I even video taped his accomplishment. Not sure how to get it on the blog though, have to wait until John has a free moment.
Thanks for all the continued prayers and good thoughts. Hope everyone has a great long weekend.

Hi Matt,
Sounds like you had a great weekend, sorry the weather wasn't better tho. I am sure everyone who gets to spend time at your sisters homes, comes away totally blest. Fabulous hostesses, they get that from your mom. Love the new pictures, been awhile since we've seen 'the four' together. Likely was at Jackie and Gary's wedding. Can't get over your progress Matt. How marvelous...what determination, we echo all the other voices that are so proud of you. You 'light up' our life.
Much love & prayers,
Aunty Carol, Uncle Wince and family
