No Internet

I am quickly updating the blog from work in between patients. Our Internet at home has been down since Friday night. Hoping to get it back soon however this freezing, mind numbing cold will continue for awhile and they cannot send out anyone to check the tower. -40 this am with the windchill so Matt is house bound for a few days. We did manage to make it to a Lacrosse game Saturday night. The van started great but I noticed it was not giving off any heat. By the time we got home from the game Matt was a little frozen ice cube in the back. Without heat, the hydraulic lift for the wheelchair was soo slow that John, Cecilia, and myself would get on with Matt to give it more weight to get it down. Ahh, lovely winter.
But Matt did enjoy the game between Calgary Roughnecks and Edmonton Rush. Disappointed in the food, not like the Porcupine rink where you order fries and can actually share with your friends.
Last night when we were putting Matt to bed, mom and I found that he was able to move easier than when he first got here. When lying in bed, he can make his knees bend one at a time with spastic movements. Also on Thursday he had a cold and was getting cold and hot. The interesting thing was he started to sweat in his lower back, which he hasn't done since the accident. So more nerve conduction is going through we hope.
Barry and Giselle stopped in for a short visit on Sunday. They had travelled from Victoria last week and it was nice to see them.
Have great day and stay warm.
