Matt's young son is going through a phase where he loves to be carried everywhere. Matt says "He's just tipped over to the point where he is a little bit beyond what's comfortable for me to lift ... I can lift him, but I can't carry him for anywhere near as long as I used to. Particularly if there is something else that needs to be managed. So we have to negotiate a far bit. Which can be quite tricky with a toddler."
Matt's older daughter is more aware that her dad is not like he used to be. Matt explains "There was an abrupt change. She was in daycare the day of my stroke. So she was dropped off and everything was more or less normal. And then dad just disappeared for 10 days.". Matt says his daughter generally handles it all well, but "you can still see signs of a bit of trauma that I was a away for an extended period. But for the most part she has adapted quite well to our new reality."
