Getting Ready

Well the weather is not cooperating for our trip. Yesterday we had a few snowflakes and today it is wet and cold. Much the same tomorrow I think. We will be arriving in Weekes late Friday night and not leaving until Tuesday.
Matt tried out a new power chair. Since he is in Alberta and the previous power chair is from Sask, we will have to return it sometime. So the Alberta government will purchase a new chair for Matt once we fill out the paper work and wait for approval. We can have one for a trial basis and Matt really likes it. It is more compact and turns on a dime, much more stable. However we don't think we can take it to Sask. because it is not the right size and needs a few more extras for such a long trip. We also looked at a few manual chairs but he will need a one hand chair, so all the movement comes from his right hand. However Matt may not have the strength he needs to use it properly so they are going to come back with some different models. The problem again is Matt is so tall that everything is too short so extra modifications need to be made and that isn't as easy as it sounds.
Prayers for a safe trip tomorrow and Thanks to God that we have a new van for the trip.

Have a safe trip. We're praying it doesn't snow either (or rain this weekend). We need some warmth and sunshine. If you get a chance, drop in at church and meet the new pastor. He and his wife are awesome.
