Sorry it has taken me so long to write. The gang finally got here at 11:30pm Tuesday night. What a sorry looking bunch! Big circles under their eyes, and so tired. By the time they unpacked and got Matt settled, it was 1:30 am. I think they are still recuperating.
Things have been so hectic since they came I haven't been able to catch up on much, but things will settle once mom knows where to find things and stop phoning me at work!!
Matt has been getting in home therapy since Wednesday and there is a noticeable decline in some functions, however with the rehab plan the 2 nannies have in store for him, Matt will soon regain most of his lost function. We are still waiting to hear if Matt can attend some rehab as an outpatient at the hospital. So far everything is working out okay.
Right now Nolan and Lindsay came from Calgary for the weekend to help dad build a ramp for the front of the house to make it easier to get Matt in. Right now dad has the ramp but it is so steep that 2-3 people have to push him up. Matt has also gained some weight so makes him heavier to push. So we have a very full house but we are having a great time playing Yahtzee, sequence, crib, etc. The nannies like it too, learning all new games. Jonmarie and Shaunie love having family around.
Thanks for all the "safety" prayers that were sent on Tuesday. I was starting to get a bit worried but the arrived safe and sound. Continue to pray for Matt's rehab and that Matt will once again be progressing.

Hi Matthew and the whole crew. I tried to put a message on a couple days ago and it didn't work so hope this one comes through.
Shelley, you must have a NOISY as well as full house. But you know how we all love to have all the family around.
Take care and work hard Matthew, which I know you will. Joanne, call me sometime when you are more settled.
Love to you all. Aunty Sandy
