Getting Closer
Just to give an update, Mom is busy packing and Dad is getting the yard cleaned up and they are planning on leaving Monday at the latest. I am scared to hold my breathe, as I have been disappointed before! But it sounds as if everything is a go. So will keep you posted!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving
Matt, all I can say about missing the football game in Calgary is you were lucky. It was so embarrassing to be sitting next to Calgary Stampeder fans with Saskatchewan playing so bad. I mean, my goodness! Jacki and I finally left with 6 minutes left, and got comments like "leaving so soon?". At least if you would have been there, I could have hid behind your chair! The one high note was the weather was great, 16 degrees.
Aunty Karen and Uncle Neil came out to the farm for Sunday and had a good visit. Alex was at the house for Thanksgiving Monday and shared in the festivities.
So things are looking up for Matt to come to Red Deer this weekend. Matt will be finished IV therapy on Wednesday, and dad will go to Melfort on Thursday for a part for the van. Also, Matt will try to get a day of rehab in Melfort on Thursday. So things are looking brighter. I know Matt is worrying about some loss of function in his legs and right hand, but don't worry, Matt. It will be better when you can have some more therapy. That old saying if you don't use it you will lose it is so true for Matt. He must continually keep at it to even keep what mobility and dexterity he has.
We have so much to be thankful for this past year. Last year, Matt was still in ICU and on a ventilator. Could hardly move at all, just his right hand and could barely bend his elbow. So just think of how much improvement we can write next Thanksgiving.
Give thanks in all things, for this is the will of God.
