Aunty Sherry’s Update – June 14th & 15th
Sunday June 17th is Chris 23rd Birthday.We have told him people all over the world are praying for him and God has listened and is answering prayer. Thank you for being part of why Chris is having his 23rd Birthday. For those who have been praying and standing with us and those who have been following Chris’ progress and want to send Chris a happy Birthday message we would print it out and take it into him on his birthday. You can either leave it in the comments or send an e-mail to patti@xangelle.com. Â
Just a quick update… Yesterday when I went back in the afternoon to see Chris – Â I was determined to find out why he had just been left lying in his bed…didn’t they know he needed to get up and get going….as I came around the corner to his room I heard alot of voices and wondered who had come in…I pulled back the curtain to see a whole team of physios getting Chris in a wheelchair!!!
God had gone ahead of me… I was able to wheel Chris right outside in the sunshine for a half hour or so…He was so thrilled to be out.
His memory is getting so much better and he asked how Courtney was liking Kelowna!! Most of you may have no idea how great that was to hear but believe me, it is!The physios were amazed how well he tolerated it and said he would need to be up for 4 hours to be able to meet the criteria to transfer to GF Strong (the rehabilitation center in Vancouver).
Well today, one day later, he met that criteria!! Chris was up from 11:30am until just after 3:30pm…in that time he sat out in the rain with his momma, had lunch, played a zillion hands of some dumb card game(sorry Chris), called Grampa K, Aunty Ruth and Uncle Dan and had a shower with me…well I did get almost as wet as he did
Karen and I wheeled him into the bathroom and as she stood OUTSIDE(giving orders, i mean directions) I was washing his hair(and his wheelchair and my shoes,the walls, etc) I sent a picture to Courtney with soap all in his hair and she called me excitedly asking when he got his “faux hawk”…I explained I was just fooling around with the shampoo and she was quite disappointed Chris that it hadn’t been cut in that style…she was thrilled with how happy you looked.
Anyway, everyone was impressed with how well he did today ..and they promised he would be off isolation restrictions for his birthday and up in his chair. I’m sorry I won’t be there to wish you a happy birthday but I thank God that you are here to celebrate another year…I love you dear Chris. xox

Happy Birthday Chris!
It’s been so great hearing all about how you’re doing and the great steps that you’re taking toward total recovery. Since the first time that I heard about your accident I had my whole church down here in Florida praying for you and they are still constantly asking about you and how you’re doing and it’s been so great to be able to tell them of all the miracles that God is doing in your life.
It’s no surprise to me that you’re doing so well. I have way to many memories of my little (in age, not size) cousin doing crazy death-defying things like luging doing crazy big hills in North Van on home made luges with barely a scratch to show of it and many many others. Sure you came away with some gaping wounds and missing flesh, but you never let that stop you from trying again and keeping on going. I don’t think that this accident will be all that different. I know that with God’s help and your amazing strength and all the family support and prayer support from all around the world, you’ll be back to your crazy antics in no time at all. Just look at the huge progress you’ve already made in the past two months – from being pretty much dead to moving on to the rehab place really soon.
We all love you so much and will continue to pray for you and your total recovery. God has great plans for you and he is already working through this situation to bring Himself glory through you. Just keep believing in what God has for you and all his promises.
Love you tons,
Charlene

It was so nice to see Chris after 2 days and have him so cheerful and rememberiing that so many people had come to his birthday party…and also to spend time with his momma again…I have to say that one thing that this whole incident has brought out Chris, is that I have my friendship back with you mom..it has been a HUGE a blessing to me and I hope to her to. I love you both and I am continuously thankful for how awesome our God is…God IS good..ALL the time(thank you Rand..I love you too!)
