We are so grateful for the good weather. This weekend there was a high of +8. Today a bit colder at +1 and overcast, but still no snow.
Matt is now going for occupational therapy twice a week at the hospital and really enjoys his OT. He also continues to go for laser treatments at the office and we were really encouraged last week when Matt bent his left elbow unassisted. We get him on the floor and then do exercises, and while they were doing the exercises, they noticed his left elbow wanting to bend. So by holding his muscle right above the elbow, they were able to stimulate his muscle enough to bend, but Matt had to do all the movement. However he forgets what muscles are needed so we tap on the back of his arm when he is supposed to bring his arm down and tap on the forearm to lift his arm up, so he can remember what way to move it.
Renovations continue so the house is upside down but everyone is settling in. This weekend we had Jonmarie's birthday party and the family was all here.
The van is still in the shop and it will cost alot of money to get it running. Hard to know what to do, get a new one or fix the old one. Using the taxi everyday gets expensive, running over $60 a day. But we will figure it out.
Sorry it has taken so long to write the blog. Because of the reno's. our computer was moved and unplugged, and I was unable to access the blog from Matt's computer. Will try to write once a week.
