Update from South Africa

Hello everyone! Mom was unable to get on the computer at home so I talked to Matt on the phone last night to see how things had ended at rehab.
Matt sounds so positive on the phone and is looking forward to returning to rehab in the new year. The final day of treatment they had Matt sit up in a chair and then prepare him to try and stand. So one of the therapists held his knees while in a sitting position and placed his arms beside him as if he were to push himself up and off the chair. Matt was able to push himself off about an inch or two off the seat! He was very excited about this and will continue to practice all the activities they had taught him.
Our internet were we are is very slow so I won't write too long. However just wanted to let you know how well Matt is doing and keep praying for his journey to recovery!
