Good afternoon,
All this talk and worry has lessened the amount of information regarding Christopher and his therapy. I would like to say that every day is still exceptional here. When frustration sets in we can go to the pool and relax, when activity is high we can get on the tilt table and do the unbelievable, when we are tired we kick back in the chair and watch the sports. The changes that I see working every day with Chris are remarkable, the abilities that he tries so hard to show, I know with his effort he will get stronger and stronger with every day's work. This has been an exceptional week for physio, Chris is showing lots more strength in neck and back control.
I am looking forward to getting Chris home, to getting our house set up sooner than later, hopefully getting past the stalling tactics of the lawyer from ICBC. And finally getting the gym and the equipment in place so that therapy can happen when it needs to happen and not restricted by time constraints. I know with the improvements that Chris has come to know, that they will grow and will continue to get stronger when around family and all the friends that I know he misses dearly.
I only hope that after cancelling all of our progress and program here, that the offerings of Mr Falcon's ministry to put together a rehab plan that matches this one in Ponoka materialize and come through. This is the one time in my life where I have to say, "I'll believe it when I see it" just because of the empty promises. My beliefs have always been "you will see it when you believe it", this holds true more than ever when it comes to Chris and what he can do and what we will be able to do .
It will be a very exciting time to be able to be around friends and family once again and provide a productive and positive environment to grow in.
We are going to leave you today with a link to the Edmonton Journal to some research being done I believe in Belgium and England with an functional MRI scanner that picks up brain waves that enables people to communicate through their thoughts showing that just because you lose your motor skills does not mean you should be forgotten and left in a corner.

In this world all things are possible have faith in never say never. There is one anecdotal note, if you are going to have a belief system like this, you have to walk the walk not just talk the talk and I believe there's a lot of families out there prepared to take that journey if given the chance.
Goodbye until tomorrow,
Kevin and Christopher

Hi Kevin and Chris,
It was great talking and seeing you both yesterday via the computer. Sorry it took so long for us to set up on this end. Needed Julie to set up for us. Sounds like things are starting to come together for Chris's return to BC. Let's hope it can all be finalized soon and no back peddling from the Ministry. Stay strong Kevin and Chris. You are both an inspiration to us all. We love you and hope to talk to you again soon Chris.
Lots of Love
Janet,Pat, Carl and Julie
Kevin and Dr Bigs:
Computer crashed and is up again. Haven't written to Falcon as a result. Bit of an opportunity though because things have changed just weeks ago. I can write him a letter more current than people who wrote 2 and 3 weeks ago. Promise.
Was flying over Alberta on way back from Toronto. The whole country is carpeted in white at the moment. Alberta looked very pretty and I thought of you guys.
A very nice ticketing agent at Westjet got me a much earlier flight than the one I was originally scheduled for (8 hour difference). Made me think of Shelley, who has turned out so pretty. That and handsome Dr Christopher, make me think back about how much I enjoyed my flight.
In my thoughts, sincerely,
Andrew Adolph
