Hello,
Updates are slow but positive. Chris is working hard with his new physio therapist, she doesn't let up nor give up.
Last week she got Chris to kick the ball while sitting on the edge of the table.
This week has been excellent for responding to questions, given time he has been able to direct his hand to select answers to things that are close to him.
Not so good at being able to rell the enviroment around him or where he is, but able to answer questions on family and things close to him.
Splinting and all therapies have moved up a notch making for a very tired guy at the end of the day. His new hand splint will be able to be adjusted to start putting a little stronger pull on his fingers to straighten them out. Leg splints have been adjusted to allow easier access and more comfort for longer wear and they keep his feet and legs straight while standing on the tilt up frame. Water therapy continues as usual great now for relaxing as three of them are at the end of the day.

Go ahead, Christopher!! -
... Make My/Our Day.!
What good news about your progress in recent weeks; things are starting to happen; keep up the good/hard work.
Kevin;.. you too! - way to go.!
I know damn well that Dr. Bigelow is right there, just below the surface, about to "wake up".
Here is hoping that he continues to improve at the current rate, so that when you bring him home, he may get on the list for G.F. Strong...!???
If you make it home in time for hockey on Friday, you can be on the 1st line, for a change.! :-)
Love,

If Chris is recognizing and answering questions about family, that is VERY understandable; as that is what is closest (along with medicine) to his heart and mind. His surroundings are basically unknown to him and he would not be able to respond to questions about that.
It is wonderful and so emotionally encouraging to hear about him responding to the smallest, but most important, things/questions….it is so heartwarming. Keep up the fantastic work Christopher! We love you and miss you, can’t wait to visit and see your wonderful progress first hand.
Love U Robert & A Helen
Thanks for the update, Kevin.......This news is so encouraging, Chris!!
You are on our minds, hearts, and in our thoughts and prayers every day.
Keep fighting!
Kathleen, Jillian and Family

So happy to hear that things are coming together - with Christopher's therapy and with the new location you have been seeking. Have missed him so much and I love hearing about his progress on the blog. Looking forward to seeing you at the BBQ on Saturday.
Keep up the GREAT work Christopher - All of our prayers and thoughts are with you ... LOVE YOU,
