October 30, 2008

Hello again,

Some news that we were not expecting was on Wednesday Halvar Jonson Centre called to say they are over limit for the out of province beds and they have to discharge three before Chris will be able to go, he is next on the list for a bed!

On the better side I have been taking Chris to Aqua therapy for a couple of weeks now and it is amazing to see he can move with greater freedom and seems to really enjoy the relaxing part of therapy as well as the joints and back massage in the water at 93 degrees.

Schedule for the water is
Mondays at 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
Wednesday at 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM.
Friday at 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
We leave the hospital 11/2 hours prior to each appt and return 1 hour after for those who are visiting. If you want to come and observe let me know ahead of time and we can arrange it.

Been getting some Cranial-Sacral physio and will start some outside massage as soon as we have our own lift to get him out at the appointments.

Chris will be busy with his Aunt and Shiatsu on Saturday between 3:00 and 5:00 PM.
Will post updates to Alberta as they be come available.
Adding a couple of new pictures.
Bye for now

Wednesday October 8, 2008

Hello again,
I know it has been awhile lots have reminded me but things stay pretty busy and usually I am just to tired to post stuff.
Sinse last post Kirsty, derek and Jay have been down and in the Chamber with Chris all had a good experience and was a change from the ordinary.
As well it gave me a little time away to get stuff done.
Ponoka was approved by the health ministry on Tuesday we are now waiting for an admission date from the center itself.
When that happens I will let you know here.
New pictures will be posted with the next update thanks for your understanding and keeping in touch bye for now.
