It's been a few days since either of us have written .... I guess that means there's been no new crisis, which is a good thing, and nothing that made us feel we had much new to share. However, it's been a good week of steady progress in physio .... challenging workouts for Robert as he continues to work on strengthening various muscles to prepare him for walking. He has progressed in that regard at the parallel bars, able to walk without the assistance of the physio (except for her gripping the waistband of his sweats which probably wouldn't do a whole lot of good if he were to start going down). Anyways, he takes steps bearing most of the weight on his legs with some support from his arms . He's able to do a few laps up and down the bars. and then that's it. Lots of pain follows that, and there's no getting away from that. We can all thank God for the strides he is making (literally) and continue to pray for healing to the nerves leading to his right foot and left quad. Not much difference can be seen in the function of those areas, but we trust the healing is taking place and will reveal itself soon.
Yesterday Robert got a new roommate ... a man about my age probably .... seems very nice and he does speak English.:) His name also happens to be Robert, so on the big chart in the hallway where everyone's schedules are posted there's a red" name alert" sticker by their names. I guess the nurses could get meds mixed up or something.
That's about it for today. Thankyou, everyone , for remaining faithful in your prayers.

There is no question that you will be fully healed. God has his hand over you. Shortly this will be a distant memory.
Chris make sure you take care of your self.

Was a little worried when we didn't hear from you for a few days. Glad it was because there was nothing to report rather than something else!! Keep on trucking Robert, thinking of you every day.
Chris . . . are you at the same number that you gave me??

Praise God! So proud of you Robert - a strength I will never know. Thought of you on Sunday when we "shared the peace". Sorry you weren't there to watch my excitement!!! Was getting ready for pre-school last week and wished I had you there to colour - poor little kids - their nametags just won't be the same!!!
Always in our Prayers,
Corinne (and Chris who is incognito at this time)
I haven't been on here for a long while but you are never far from our thoughts. Great to see you having so much progress. Remember that most things are usually 2 steps forward and 1 step back. Don't let the backward steps get you down. My son Jason and I continue to pray for you most nights before bed. I will be happy to share with him that God is indeed doing the work to heal you. As one of my son's favorite characters says, "just keep swimming, just keep swimming, what do we do, we swim, swim, swim!" Take care,
Hug your mom for me, Love Angeline
Have a wonderful thanksgiving Robert and Chris. You are constantly in our prayers.
