Now that the van is fixed will venture to the swimming pool for the first time tonight. Matt's a bit apprehensive about going into the water again. Those of you who cannot swim, you feel very vulnerable and that is what Matt experiences, for he is completely dependent on others for his safety. Prayers that all goes well tonight.
Another point of interest, the girls tried to exercise Matt's legs with the bike machine (just like the top picture but instead of his arms, he uses his legs). It was difficult to get him started, just couldn't get the rhythm started and Matt's huge knees kept banging together. However through perseverance Matt got into a rhythm and was able to complete 23 mins! He was very excited and very anxious to start physio therapy at the hospital. So prayers that we will soon get the call for him to start. Still gets really dizzy when we try to stand him and is taking 3 meds to try and boost his blood pressure, but it still drops to 74/50 at times, which is much too low. Feeding him lots of salt! We may look into getting him a cow lick! Thanks for all the comments.

Glad to hear you are going to the swimming pool but I sure know how you feel - that panicky feeling is hard to handle. I feel for you but you have to trust the ones who are in the pool with you. Hopefully it isn't your mom - I think she is almost as afraid of water as I am. Ha!
Still painting today and for awhile tomorrow. Uncle is going to the cattle sale tomorrow - we took our whole herd in to be sold. Doesn't bother me one bit but I am sure he will miss them for awhile.
Chat with you soon. Love and prayers to all of you.
Love Aunty Sandy
