Matt was glad to be home for a few days. He is such a trooper but his eyes always give him away. He doesn't enjoy going to the hospital but he knows it is for the best. We picked him up Friday late afternoon and took him back last evening. While at home he played some Wii, since he can't set his game up at the hospital. There is a room that he can go to but he must book a time for it. Matt enjoys Friday night movie night with the girls with often one or both girls are on his lap. Saturday we took Matt for a massage, sine we couldn't get him an appointment for last Wednesday. He really enjoys it and finds it so relaxing.
I think what Matt enjoys the most is he sleeps better when at home. During the week he doesn't get much sleep with all the different sounds and new bed. But he adapts so well to any situation, much better than I would be!
I forgot to mention on Friday I was there to see physio again. Margaret is really working his core muscles and what she made him do was sit up without help, which he finds he can do quite easily if it is a hard surface. Then she makes him lean to the right while holding himself up with his right hand and arm. Next she makes him lean back at the same time, than pulling himself into the upright position again. He tried it on the left but because his arm doesn't work very well, he must just use his oblique muscles, which is hard for anyone. Margaret is hoping to see him standing this week just to see how he does, so want to be there for that. More good news to come, I am sure.

Wow, Matt you are doing great... You are definately an insperation to us all. Can't imagine what it must be like to contiue to go back every Sunday night - but Shel is right - we all know it is for the best - yea like who cares, I want to be home... Ha or at least that is what I would be thinking. We think of you daily, even though you don't hear from us all the time. Keep on smiling (you know you get almost anything with that smile) and keep up the hard work - we will continue to pray for your recovery. Love to you all Aunty Bren
Hi Matt-we are getting light snow all day - good to hear of the new things you are trying to do and succeeding - and I am sure those neices enjoy helping you out-and I haven't heard but I am sure you know all their favorite books by memory already?!?!? I know Taya sure enjoys it when someone reads to her. Bryce went to Regina today. Take care.
