Oh, home sweet home!!! You propably thinking - was it uneventful? - well of course not, that doesn't seem to be our style...but it wasn't bad. The flight was alright all the way home and Matt seemed to be doing ok (especially stretched right out in the 1st class from Munich to Toronto), until about the last 1/2 hour of the 2nd flight. The hospital in Germany gave us enough medication for another day, including a liquid pain killer...which got spilled in the nurse's bag...so now the nurse was worried about accidentally licking his fingers and feeling the effects himself...then the stuff turned into a funky white powder which also looked bad, and Matt wasn't able to continue his steady stream of pain control. Luckily, we also got morphine for the 2nd flight as with the smaller airplane he couldn't lie down, so we knew it would cause more pain and discomfort, so Matt had to take that to help him out.
Then once we arrived at the hospital here in Regina, it was crazy busy, took us 3 hrs to get a room in emergency and a nurse came to check him over shortly after...the doctor was coming later but by that time I was so tired I couldn't sit without falling asleep so his mom took over. And now I'm up again...crazy time change will take a bit to adjust again.
So, Matt's at the General, come and see him - I know he'd love to see some familiar faces!

Welcome HOME! God bless your recovery from your trip and give you wisdom for further steps!
Glad you made it home. Hopefully his body will mend soon.
Matt will be in our prayers.

So glad you both made it home safe and sound. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Matt as he returns to a speedy recovery. We are almost right behind you...we're coming home to Toon town on Aug 3. Can't wait! We've been so busy with the kids, and I have been so exhausted. Our little princess has a regular Swiss army alarm clock inbedded in her...6 a.m. exactly and she's up and about! Although I'm so excited about going home, I can't sleep tonight, so checking on your blog and emails. The flight home should be interesting with these two tykes. Tell Matt from Murray---Go Riders!
