No Visitors For Awhile

Matthew phoned me last night upset about the no visitor rule for a few days due to a viral outbreak. So dad cannot go a visit and neither can anyone else. That is the first time since Matt was injured that someone hasn't been with him so prayers that the "quarantine" ends quickly and visitors are once again allowed. The worst part is no rehab in the therapy department because Matt cannot leave the floor he is on. So no trips outside and only therapy in his room.
Matt has been on the go since last Friday, when he travelled to Weekes for cousin Michelle's wedding. Loved sitting around the campfire and visiting with the family, stayed out until 1:30 am. For the wedding on Saturday they had a slow start and didn't even have Matt up when I phoned at 1pm. The wedding started at 2pm? in Weekes but I believe they made it on time.
Sunday visited again with family and didn't return to Saskatoon until 7 pm. Matt didn't get settled until 1230 am and was too worked up from all the happenings that he didn't feel tired and stayed up even later.
Monday Matt was once again in the pool. I think that is his favorite rehab. He was able to extend his legs in the pool like he was kicking to swim but needed weights to bring his legs back down. Also did a workout at the gym on the arm bike and pulleys.
Today Matt practiced dressing himself. He had gotten a new shirt which he really likes but is a bit smaller than what he is used to so was unalbe to get it over his head. Dad brought Matt some food, but wasn't able to see him. So a quiet day overall.

Hi Matthew. Hope the quarantine is lifted soon. It must be a long day for you and your dad when you can't be together.

It was so good to see you on the weekend. I am so glad you were able to make it to the wedding and what a beautiful wedding it was.

We had a small downpour today - about 1/4 inch of rain at the farm.
We need about two good inches so maybe tomorrow as the forecast is calling for rain.

Talk to you soon and take care.

Love Auntie Sandy

Hi Matt,

Hopefully quarantine is over quickly.

By the way, I got a good pic of you and Michelle and Cody. Here's a link through photobucket. Don't know if I'd be able to attach it here or not for you to see.

If you can't open it, you'll have to let me know.

Not sure if this will work - but I'll try uploading it from tinypic.com - pic from Michelle's wedding.
