The extended stay

Hello everyone,

Well after a week away and total chaos dealing with extending Chris's stay in Ponoka, I spent many hours on the phone trying to get funding approval. So many hoops and hurtles to jump through at one time it would appear to be near impossible. Then I got a boost and some much needed help from some wonderful doctors and after many more hours of preparation funding was approved to extent Chris's stay.

Being back this week has been a trying one as we were not sure how long the Halvar Jonson Center would be willing to give us to continue. As of Wednesday we have come to an agreement with the Centennial center in Ponoka to extent Chris to up to three months to continue therapy at the great care that he receives here.

The cycle that was showing so much promise and an integral part of Chris' workout had to be returned on September 2nd. Something went wrong with the order process and it never arrived. We've had to order another one directly form Germany and wait for 15 days for it to arrive.

We will just have to keep extra busy with other activities until that happens. As his new term starts all of the therapies have had to realign and change time so it's a little confusing these first few days as everything gets put back in place to best suit Chris. While I was home last week I was able to take care of some other outstanding issues for equipment with ICBC. So the next couple of weeks will be spent trying to find the right property that will suit our needs for Chris, as most of the properties or houses we have seen the past did not quite meet the needs of alterations that will be acquired. So we will start in earnest to locate a suitable property immediately.

It would seem the roller coaster never stops, just figured as time went on the hills would get a little smaller but we seem to be riding a big one. Will update again after today's therapy and hopefully put on a picture or two and maybe a video.

Thank you all for checking in, talk to you soon.
