Intravenous

Well, things are again on hold. The van is working a bit better and dad was able to take it to Melfort and order a specific part, so hopefully the van troubles will be resolved. However Matt hasn't been feeling well since the beginning of the week, feeling unable to breathe, waking up with night sweats and unable to sleep, etc. So they found a infection in his urine that may also be in his lungs, not sure. So they started him on IV antibiotics to see if they can clear it up. Unfortunately he has to be on it for 10 days and is not advised to travel such a long distance. Matt is very disappointed not to be here for Thanksgiving as we had got tickets in Calgary for the Sask. roughriders game. But next time, right?
Matt went to Melfort on Wednesday for an ultrasound on his left shoulder. Luckily it is not a tear as they had first suspected, but his tendon is becoming "frozen" from lack of movement. Anyone who has suffered with a frozen shoulder knows how painful it is so mom, dad, and Matt have to remember to exercise it at least 4 times a day. They must be careful not to overdue it though, because it could easily become inflammed and Matt would have acute tendonitis, which hurts like anything.
So prayers that another hill will be scaled and that there will be a comfortable plateau on the other side. It is nothing like the mountains he scaled last year but it is still difficult.
