Where are the Updates?!

Ok -I know its been 2 days since I put an update out here! But there isn't a whole lot going on now. I am back to being the working girl - the bread winner! Ha! I asked Matt last night - since he is now the stay at home spouse - would dinner be on the table every night when I get home?! Ha Ha - Just kidding!

He is still recouping very nicely. He had his first real shower yesterday and what a treat that was for him.... and we snuck out of the house last night around 8:30 to go up to Dairy Queen for an ice cream treat. We are such rebels!

Matt is doing more and more walking to get his legs back motoring and building up more stamina and energy. Lucky for him he has had a handful of visitors to keep him occupied and out of trouble while I am at work.

Thank you for your continued prayers for his healing and our strength.

Tuesday he has a followup appointment to get his staples removed (doesn't that sound like fun!)- and then Thursday we are headed to Bar Harbor Maine (5 days) for some rest, relaxation, and lobsta' eatin' - Dr's orders (well ok - he didn't really order it but we already had this vacation scheduled/paid for before all this happened - and we did get the green light from him that it was still ok to go!) - so if Matt is feeling up to it we are going to press ahead and still go -so that we can both just unwind and be together.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Bring on the lobster you guys deserve it. We are so glad things continue to be moving forward. We are Praying for you two, and we know God's healing touch is with you. Don't worry about the future, enjoy each other today. Amy wanted to know last night, did the doctor use a stapler like ours, HA, Ha. Have a safe trip. Love you.
