Hello again,
Well let me start this week out with lots of praise for the physiotherapists working with Chris, they have him stretching early in the mornings, as well they ensure that his legs splints go on regularly through the day. He has now been getting multiple trips on the tilt table through the week lots of sit up and stretching exercises.
Wednesday morning when I arrived he was already up on the table already halfway through his session when therapists told him to let me know what happened this morning. After a minute or two they indulged me and told me that he had actually started to kick a ball with one leg while sitting on the table. Absolutely amazing how something so simple can bring a tear to your eyes, and make the hair on your neck stand up.
He was pretty tired this afternoon and ended his day with a massage. I also found out today from the distributor for the bicycle that was supposed to be here yesterday or today, he just found out there's been a two-week delay in delivery so we're trying to get one of the distributors in Edmonton to lend us one until Chris's arrives, the wait has been very frustrating, let you know once we get it.
On the home front we've looked at several more homes, it has come down to three or four possibilities, will be looking at them again this weekend and hopefully making a decision by Sunday.
I was asked to put in a reminder about the fundraiser which is October 10 at Sunbury Hall on Dunlop Road in Delta. If anyone has any questions or ideas they can contact Shelley or respond with a question through the blog site to me and I will forward it on to Shelley to look after or just e-mail back if I can answer.
Thank you,
Kevin

Kevin,
You have brought a tear to my eye as well. How exciting !!!!!
I am so glad to hear that the staff are all working together for Christopher.
" Way to go Christopher-keep it up !!!" Way to get things done Kevin !!!
My thoughts are with Christopher always.
Love Auntie Jan
Uncle Pat, Carl and Julie too
Ditto, to what Janet said... and the therapist(s) that are waiting for 30 seconds or so, for a response from Christopher, and getting it.!!
Looking forward to the fundraiser BBQ ... anyone who cannot make it need not buy a $25. ticket, but may buy a raffle ticket or two @ $10. each, and have the same chance at the prizes, as the people who are at the fundraiser.!
Most of us in the family have tickets, so let us know if you need some.
I am on the 6:00 shift on the BBQ; my specialty is the well done, "Hockey Puck" burgers.!! :-)
Love & hugs Christopher,
Uncle Pat
