Kitty is no more

We had a difficult experience for Mother's Day. Our little kitten was killed by the neighbor's dog in front of the kids. It was awful. Everyone had gotten so attached to Molly and Matt was so upset. We will probably get another one but it is hard to erase that image from everyone's head. Shaunie kept trying to pet it and saying "kitty sleeping, wake up kitty". Needless to say the rest of the day was not great.
Matt has been going for outpatient OT Mon and Wed. And the girls continue to keep him busy. I am finding he is more independent than before. If we don't lock the basement door he can open it. He can open the fridge door and get something out if not too heavy. Matt had a sore on his right thigh and states he can feel it better than he could before. That can be a good or bad thing. More sensation can lead to neuropathic pain which if any one has it, it is horrible. But it could mean more sensation, more movement. So prayers that it is a positive thing.
We went to the Red Deer College for the wheelchair ball hockey and basketball. Most of the participants were quite young and Matt mostly just observed. We tried some badminton and Matt did okay but his arm got so tired so fast. He couldn't do the basketball as they don't allow power chairs. They had an para-Olympic athlete there and he was so good. I think Matt gets a little jealous of the paripalegics because they have full use of their arms.
Jacki was down with the kids this weekend and she was having pretty consistent contractions but they subsided by Sunday. So no baby yet! But she is 38 weeks so anytime now.
Getting ready for the big drive this weekend. Matt is so excited to be going home and seeing everyone. So please, if you are in the area, pop over for a visit. The door will be open.
