The Patient!

Well, I am sure you are all wondering what has been going on with us and why you haven't seen anything new. First week of May we were at the Race and had a great time. (Pictures are to come soon). Last week, I was on a 3 day field trip with Matthew to Boston for a whale watch. We had such a great time and it was awesome. We were able to see lots of whales, and probably could of touched them at the side of the boat that was how close they were, maybe 3ft!!! (Pictures to come as well soon)
Biggest news is, Matt made it through his surgery on Friday. He is trying to hang in there but is miserable. The surgery itself went fine, now its the healing. Matt is to be on crutches for 2 weeks. He is having a fair amount of pain right now. He is pretty much on the chair all day, occasionally tries to get up the steps but has to slide on his butt up and down. He had his first rehab appointment yesterday and made it through but it wasn't fun. He was pretty sore last night but acutally wanted to ride along to Kmart, I think he just needed to get out of the house!!! We all know Matt isn't into shopping. I think he is on the right track, but it will be a tough few weeks for him. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers that he has the strength to keep going and the patience to deal with it all. He is doing good so far, but he loves to hear from you all, so any calls and visits are great!!
Thanks to all who have made dinners for us and stopped by to see Matt. We really appreciate all of your love and support. The meals have made it easier for me to get the kids where they have to be, and keep watch on Matt. We love you all very much!
I promise to post some pics soon! Enjoy your memorial day weekend :)
