I thought I would update some of Matt's blog pictures. Needed some with the Sask. Roughriders.
Therapy continues and we are using a homemade plith board at home. What is it you ask? Dad had taken a small table, cut it down to Matt's sitting height, then had the top padded and covered by an upholstery clinic in town. It isn't very wide but it is easier for Matt to practice his sitting exercises when he has a hard surface, instead of the bed. When he sits in the bed, it is too soft and he keeps falling to the side when trying to lift his arm up while sitting.
We are excited to be getting his new wheelchair within the next week. We should also be getting his specialized tilt commode so we are definitely crammed for space!! Everything has to come in extra large too!
The weather has turned, more like fall weather and my cucumbers were touched by the cold nights. Otherwise everything else in the garden is still okay. Zucchini is finally growing and we can't keep up.
Mom and Matt did go to Calgary last weekend and got to see Nolan and Lindsay's new house. Unfortunately Matt can only get in the one level but still, it is better than nothing. Jacki played ball all weekend and Matt was going to watch her, however it was extremely windy and Matt's skin is very dry due to the Accutane for his acne, so he just stayed with Gary and the kids.
We have a new driver named Darlene to take Matt to therapy and his bath. It sure takes the pressure off me to try and re-arrange my schedule.
We would like to send our best wishes to Denita and her soon to be husband. Matt so wants to come however he wanted to wait until his new chair came, as he is having so much trouble with his current one. I am not sure about Sask, but the weather is supposed to be in the high 20's this weekend. We will send some of it your way.

Sounds like things are coming along just fine. All that new equipment. Keep on with your therapy and you will get stronger.
The weather here is beautiful. The guys have been swathing all week. They are hoping the weather stays nice so they can start combining soon. They did get two barley fields done last week. The rest isn't quite ready yet.
We haven't had any real cool nights yet. It is supposed to go down to plus 5 tonight but the rest of the week sounds good.
I have been keeping Jacob since Wednesday as Trevor & Terina are in Edmonton for their clothes show for the store. They will be back tomorrow night.
Take care and talk to you all soon.
Love Auntie Sandy & Uncle Orest

A cheerful heart is truly good medicine. We never know who we will become-called a journey. NS.
