Wednesday May 6, 2009

Hello,
Delayed again I was home for the weekend and Shelley, Scott and kids were here to visit Chris over the weekend. Chris was pretty responsive to Kylan's voice and the touch and holding of Gwen. To bad he could not be closer to home to get more emotional support in these ways.

Chris and I got to use to pool to ourselves on Monday afternoon and it was great after not having any really therapies since early Friday. He really moved and let you know how the water is so relaxing. We spent an hour and a quarter in the water and by the end he was extremely tired. It was an early night.
Tuesday turned out to be a bit of a slow one as Chris was plugged up a bit, think it maybe the start of a cold. It made for a frustrating day as sleep was the preferred method of therapy for most of the day. He was able to stay awake for the first period of the hockey game.

Wednesday we are back in the water and will continue the updates after today has finished.
Sorry for the delays but by the time I drive back to Edmonton each night I am tired and just cant think straight to update. I am trying to remember how many of you only have this link for updates. Hope to put a few new pictures up later today. Thanks to all of you for reminders and for being so patient.
More later today.
Kevin

You are the patient one Kevin...I can't imagine the stress you must be under. You are doing a fantastic job. It is great that Shelley was able to get back to see Christopher, I know how hard it is on her being so far away.
Let me know when Chris will be alone and I will try to get there to be with him. Please give him my love and tell him we are all thinking of him. Take care and please, drive carefully....remember to slow down when passing those patrols...
Love Helen

Thanks Kevin! So good to hear what is happening, but having said that, we totally get how crazy and exhausting your life is. Your energies, and those of all of you so closely linked to Chris, need to focus on Chris and each other, and staying well yourselves!

It is a bonus when there is an update, but when there is not, we know it is because you are stretched too thin to get to it.

So many people at work are still asking about Chris, and all of you, and sending their positive thoughts and energies.

Take care and please give Chris a big hug. We are with you in spirit and thoughts.

K, J and Family
