This has been another busy and productive month for us all.  The biggest news is that Kaiser finally conceded to providing the Modified Barium Swallow test last Thursday the 21st.  The test is scheduled for Tuesday, June 1st at 8:45 am at Zion Hospital in San Diego.  Lisa and I will be there of coarse to get the results first hand and ask alot of questions.  Should be interesting and informative.  We have remodeled our laundry room at home over the past month to provide Matt with a sink and mirror that he can now sit at and turn on the water for himself, comb his hair, shave and brush his own teeth, all that normal routine stuff that gets him more involved in daily living.  It’s working out pretty good, he is getting it figured out.  Lisa has been doing some amazing work with Matt over the past monthalso.  Really staying with an ever expanding routine of exercises and routines that are definitely getting Matt much more involved and stronger with very good results.  Spencer is noticing a big change in Matt with almost every session.  Matt’s core strength is gradually developing  to where we now are challenging him to adjusting himself from side to side sitting and standing.  Matt’s new glasses have also helped withMatt’s visual accuracy with the daily things.  We also have Matt’s schedule for SDSU worked out beginning June 9thand running threw the end of July.  That  will be 2 sessions per week on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Spencer’s sessions with Matt are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  We also have volunteer members from out church, Spirit of Joy coming out weekly to spend time reading to Matt!  Busy times now but we all think that’s why we see the continuing progress along withyour continued faith and prayer.  We’d like to thank you all so much!  When I figure out how to post some photos on this blog I will so for all to get a visual idea on how things are coming along although you can all visit Lindsey’s blog.  She keeps up with updated photos pretty well.  Oh yeah, Lindsey is busy organizing another golf tournament at Madera’s Golf Club in Poway for sometime I believe late summer or early fall.  This is all to support Matt’s continued private therapy.  On our last note, we would like to offer our deepest condolences to the Hickman family for the recent loss of their daughter Tara Hickman.  Our prayers and thoughts are with the Hickman family.

God Bless you all
