Day 40 -44 The Finks and the Long Weekend Surprise

Owen enjoyed his long weekend. He started by attending Skylers birthday,Antonia's going away party and Justin's farewell. Owen was honored to create the art work the unit framed for Justin's office. He heard Yoshi was his favorite.

We headed home early and had a quick relax before John and Sue came for the weekend. Dad took us for supper but Brayden had to work.

The next day the Finks came to visit with a huge surprise for us. Renee organized a secret steak night back in Saskatchewan to raise money to help make things a little easier. Mom cried. Renee and mom have a very special friendship.

After the big surprise we took the Finks to Jasper and managed to see 3 white goats, several big horn sheep and Elk on the way to Athabasca Falls. The bears only appeared for Owen and Dad. Mom was with the Finks and didn't see the bear.
We had a great dinner then took the Finks to the Maligne Canyon before heading home. What a great day. Renee promises to make the next trip longer. Mom loved hanging out with Olive and Pickles.

The rest of the weekend we spent renovating. Mom snuck in alone time with Brayden and they skipped back to Jasper to watch Ironman 3 and had dinner.

Back to the hospital tuesday to physio where Owen managed 40 steps. yahooo. He found out that because he is making progress his discharge date was moved back to June 14, 2013. Yay for progress and practice.

Owen created more art and was told by the rec therapist all about the projects and entertainment coming up. Should make for some interesting blogs coming up.

P.S- Mom wants to thank Everyone who helped,supported and participated in the fundraiser Renee set up. It means a lot to us to know we have your support and to see how much we are cared for.
