Thursday August 14th 2008

Hello everyone,
Hope I do not leave you lingering to long without updates.
We are awfully busy with Chris right now so this site will be updated when ever I can stay awake to update it.
Chris completed his 7th Hyperbaric treatment session today and is tolerating it well.
Anybody that can not make it up that often we would love to encourage you to do so now,
we are trying to note all little things that are changing for those of us that are there every day it is tough to see the little stuff that first starts out.
The doctor at VGH hyperbaric suggested that we ask those who do not see Chris every day to stop by and notice the subtle changes that we might miss. The little things are very hard to determine and very important to note and document.

The hospital is now on a mission to move Chris out, and are not being very nice.
We are selective to where he might go, they coundn't care less in the interm while we are looking for a house that will work and allow for all that is needed as well as visiting that is open and more friendly and relaxed than the hospital.
Will have to address this at a later date may need everyones and more..... support in lobbying MLA's or MP's for thier help.

Chris will be starting massage therapy by next week and we will try to bring it all together with hyperbaric, accupunture, massage and physio and still have visiting time.
Right now is a great and very helpful if all could be there in small numbers so the conversation is directed at Chris with all he is enduring it seem only the voices of friends and family is needed right now to remind him of all the memories and stories we all shared with him.
We must keep his senses alive and overwhelmed with nurturing. the next few months will be crucial to his recovery.
We are also talking with a rehab center in Ponoka Alberta about a possible stint for Chris, our goverment and health system has no where for him to go to help except long term care facility with no further help. I will keep posting updates as they occur.
More photo's and video of Hyperbaric Chamber to follow.
Good Night All

Hey Kevin....sounds like you connected with VGH. I am really interested to hear what he/she had to say! When you get Chris's schedule organized next week, it would be great if you post the times that he will be at the hospital for visiting. What a wild schedule ahead! You are an amazing family.
