"When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other.  Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future."  Ecclesiastes 7:14

Nathan has officially been admitted to hospital again.  He is at the Hamilton Rehab Center for intensive physio, and training to walk on his prosthetic.  Nate will be there for approx 4-6 weeks, depending on how well things go.  Nate and I are not looking forward to this time in hospital again, but are thankful that Nate is not sick this time, he will be coming home for weekends  and that this time is hopefully the last big step to walking and starting our lives without hospital every week.    This too is in the hands of our Heavenly Father and He alone knows the course Nate must now take.

If you would like to visit Nate, he is on the second floor of the rehab building which is attached to the Hamilton General Hospital, the center is located on Wellington Ave. between Barton and Burlington St.  The official area is 2B- south amputee and spinal cord floor, room 216 bed 2 (which is the bed by the door.)  Nate has physio twice a day at 10:30 and 2:00 for an hour at a time, and needs total concentration for these, meaning that the physio team and we request that you do not visit during physio.  These times are not consistent for every day as Nate also has classes to go to and appointments with different teams (OT, Docs, prosthetic team and scar control team) If you would like to visit please contact Nate before you come, and he will let you know the best time to visit. 

At this time we would like to thank you for your continued support with prayers, encouragment and donations. These all have been such a blessing to us, and we pray that we may use our blessings to the honour and glory of our Heavenly Father.  Many things have changed in our lives and continue to change.  From more house renos that need to be made to make things easier for Nate, to a new vehicle suited for him to drive for when he returns to work, but in all these things we must use what we have been given to honour Him first.  We pray that our Father will continue to bless your lives as He has so richly blessed ours.
