Hi and Merry Christmas to all.
Christopher finished two pool sessions on Monday and Tuesday while we were out got a call Chris has a room a Laurel place up the street from SMH.
Address is : 9688- 137A street
Forth floor room # 1413c
Upon entering turn right follow down the hall way to the elevator on the left you must hold the four and the blank buttons together to call it safety feature. When exiting the elevator head straight down the hall through the doors that say Ivydale continue down the hall last door on the left it is a private room. Just knock and enter.
Chris will be out during christmas morning and again for the dinner hours that night. I will try to stay on top of his outing times so you dont miss him.
I know he woukd appreciate everyone and all who can spare the time for a quick visit during this very busy time for all of us. While Chris is out all are welcome to visit at home as well.
Mid January is the time foe Ponoka they seem to be staying firm that will be a for time frame!!!!
Merry Christmas evryone thanks for checking.

Hello,
Always have so much to say and so little time to say it or my mind goes blank when I get the time to sit down and write it oh well here goes.
Christmas is almost here and still life revolves around and around, whether we are ready or not. I guess we better get ready and enjoy the closeness of family and friends that only this time of year permits or that we let it because of Christmas.
Halvar Jonson Centre called in Early December to say that Chris is next on the list and will be heading there in early to mid January. So with fingers crossed and hopes high I look forward to that day with a heavy heart and mixed emotions. Don’t want him to be that far away again and yet this is the place to get what we need so we are very grateful for the opportunity.
Aqua therapy has been going on three times a week with Cranial Sacral massage once a week, Shiatsu and acupuncture once a week along with extra Shiatsu treatments whenever Chris’ Aunt Janice can make it in.
Over the next few days Chris is scheduled to be moved over to Laurel Place which is straight up the street from the front doors at Surrey Memorial. This is brand new and the atmosphere is more like home without the hospital setting should make visits more relaxed and easier for all to drop by. I will post the date is to happen as soon as I am informed. If any of you have questions please feel free to call me any time.
I have just picked up the portable lift and had custom ramps made so we can now get Chris home and just about anywhere else we want or need to take him.
Funny how ease of movement through the day to where ever or whatever we need is taken for granted as we start everyday without a thought. Sorry to sound heavy but this fact hits home every day and thought at this time of year with all the celebrating……… take it easy and don’t take any chances on the road. Have a safe and happy holiday everybody.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year from Doctor Christopher Bigelow and all of his family.
P.S.
Chris will be having a Shiatsu/Acupuncture session on Saturday Dec. 20th at 10 AM to 12 PM at the hospital in his room so if you would avoid visits at this time.
Monday Aqua therapy will be out from130-530.

Hello
Not much in the way of changes lately, Chris continues to respond to the Aqua therapy, the cranial sacral massage has been tweekiing weird and wonderful responses to everything from looks to sounds directed at conversation.
We will miss Mondays session but will try to make it up on Tuesday morning, so he will be at the pool three days in a row Tuesday-Thursday ready to relax and talk it up with visitors on Friday and the weekend. Please take great care in addressing Chris with the conversation being close enough for him to hear speak slowly and clearly. His glasses are in the top drawer and his field of view seems to resonate around 18 to 30 inches, please turn off the radio while talking his hearing is probably very difficult to hear over other sounds.
Thanks everyone much appreciated.
