Well what a difference from last week! We are enjoying the change of weather and came just in time, as Jacki and Gary brought the kids on Saturday and we could kick...I mean, take them outside! Jonmarie and Bobby were outside for at least 2 hours. Matt and mom were supposed to be here by 3 pm, but they had no hot water and the landlord was there trying to fix it. By the time they got here, it was after 6 pm and supper was on hold. Homemade perogies, barbequed ribs, homemade buns and bread, etc. Real comfort food and it wasn't even cold!
Matt continues to do some exercises, standing everyday and really focusing on standing straight without leaning on the machine. He is very focused on returning to Regina in March or April. I wish it didn't cost so much however it boosts his spirits so much that it is worth the money. Keep it up Matt, even though it doesn't feel like it sometimes you still have so many people rooting for you and wishing you all the best. I stopped at the RBC and the greeter always asks how Matt is, as well as other people who have met Matt.
Matt has been feeling under the weather again and had a few acne breakouts, so trying to nip it in the bud before it gets worse so is on antibiotics again. Mom said tonight when they took Matt for his bath, after he has such a bad headache. They needed to stop at the mall for some things but they ended up coming home earlier because of Matt's headache. Hopefully it won't last long and the Advil will work.
Thanks for all who tune in to Matt's blog!

Cold, Canadian Winter
Well talk about your welcome home weather! Gone for 5 weeks and hardly any temps below 0 and we get back and BANG!! -40 with a windchill warning! To me once you see -40 you shouldn't need a warning! It is just plain cold. However I am feeling extremely spoiled with my command start in my truck. It may eat fuel when it is cold, but it sure warms up nice! The kids love it. So we are not minding the cold so much. John however has been parking his diesel SUV at the hospital and WALKING 20 mins to work. WALKING! I guess the new Canadian passport really does change a person!
Matt is back in Red Deer after rehab and spending Christmas in Weekes. We sure missed everyone and so glad to see them again. Matt was doing quite well until the weekend and started to feel flu like symptoms, tired, nauseated, fever. Mom and Matt came over to our house on Friday to see some videos and pictures of South Africa. I made homemade pizza, which he usually loves but he hardly ate any. Matt very seldom complains but you could tell he wasn't feeling 100%. He actually felt awful until Tuesday but today we chatted on the phone and sounds like his usual self!
Matt is looking forward to be back in rehab. He misses all the hard work and the staff. But Matt can get along with almost anyone. We are looking forward to his 25th birthday on February 28th. We really wanted to go to Vegas but I think Matt has gotten cold feet! Worried about how he would get on the plane, where they would put his chair, altitude and his lungs, etc. So we may have to come up with something special here. We are looking forward to seeing Aunty Karen and Uncle Neil and Aunty Brenda and Uncle Bob in February for the Scott's Tournament of Hearts. It should be a good time as always.
Bundle up and keep warm! This too shall pass.
