Travelling to Red Deer

This will be a short blog, getting ready for the reunion!
Tuesday Matt dressed himself, shirt over his head and able to get both arms in but unable to pull it down the back. Had company in evening and also did some mat work.
Wednesday had physiotherapy with the sit stand machine. Matt also tried the cycle machine, the one he sits on and can move with either his legs or arms. He didn't do that well and was a bit disappointed but on Thursday the therapist adjusted the seat so he was sitting more upright and then he could really go!! He told me he went the length of the driveway in Weekes! Totally exhausted after that. I should think so! Great work Matt! Maybe we will have to look into buying you one of those!
So today they are on there way here so looking forward to seeing how much he has improved. It is always a treat.
Happy Long weekend to everyone and prayers for everyone's safety.

Hi all, missed you all and was sorry I was not there... Would love to hear how everything went. Matt sounds like things are really going great. keep it up - you continue to amaze us all. we had the boys out for a week at the lake and although it didn;t rain all the time it was not a really good week - warm but not sunny, however we had a 60th birthday party for Bob there on Saturday and it was sunny and hot, this week it is 28 plus every day in the forcast.

Shelly we all know how busy you are and appreciate every time there is a blog - but also know the time it takes and are happy with what ever we can get.

Love to you all and again Shelly sorry we couldn't make it this year but will see what we can do for a spring time visit...

Love aunty Bren
