Shoulders and core muscles are now strong enough so Chris can take advantage of a new wheel chair with a lower back. Less chair means it's lighter and more maneuverable. All good.
Monday afternoon after PT we loaded into the car and drove up to Buckner Company for a surprise visit. Christian works with a fabulous group of professionals. Our planned few minutes of visit turned into more than an hour but it was sure worth it and wonderful to see caring coworkers and friends. We'll be back!
Here is video recorded today (29-Sept-2010). Pretty good progress with walking; smoother, farther, less huffing and puffing.
Thanks to those who have taken time to come by. Christian is fortunate to have great friends supporting. It means a lot. We feel your faith and prayers for us. Thank you.
