No Occupational Therapy

Matt missed out on OT therapy last week due to the fact his therapist was sick. But she was back today and feeling better. However Matt continues to get his regular physio by Cecila and Airene. So he only has days off on the weekend and even then we don't let up on him much. Prior to his therapy, we would lift his feet off the floor and onto his chair rests. Now we make him do it. Sometimes he does well and other times his left foot gets caught on his right and he doesn't have enough strength to "untangle them". Also when Matt is lying in bed he must try to bend his knee for mom and I to get his shoes off and bridge to get his pants off.He is getting stronger everyday.
Jacki and the kids came this weekend and had a great time visiting. The weather was excellent, in the plus for Saturday and Sunday so we had four wet kids coming in from playing. Played a few games of crib and golf with Matt and he always helps Jonmarie with her reading.
Nolan is coming down to visit on Wednesday and to help pick up the electric bed from the Lending cupboard. We are still waiting for one from homecare more made for Matt's size but for now this will help out so much. Matt needs to rely on mom to change his bed positions for comfort and with an electric bed he can do it himself. Wednesday Matt is also going for a bath in Innisfail and then in the evening I will take him for a massage. It will be quite interesting because we need to take the lift and try to turn him on the very narrow massage table so he can lay on his stomach. Prayers that we don't drop him!
Dad is planning to go back to Weekes on Thursday and we will sure miss him for transporting Matt to his various places. But I am so glad the warm weather is going to hold for the week. The beast (van) likes it when it is warm!
