to helping with dishes...
From fighting with Ed, the pepperoni guy,
to walking the ramp downhill- and even uphill!-
To riding the Envoy without
wheelchair!
...and going places!

A busier summer!
From playing games,
to helping with dishes...
From fighting with Ed, the pepperoni guy,
to walking the ramp downhill- and even uphill!-
To riding the Envoy without
...and going places!

Getting up and... swimming!
Charb got to Windsor pool before the
lift was installed: going in with his wheelchair!
With Krista helping, he familiarised
quickly with the team at the pool...
Taking advantage of Ellen's visit,
And Mom took over in the store,
asking Charb to "show off!"!

More on the right track!
June was a smooth transition to previous months,
where Charb just continued to show
a bit of improvement,
especially in standing and stepping
(while assisted)...
At the cottage, he had to go to the 2d floor,
and he pushed himself backward on the steps!
A first since the accident!
He was OK on the couch for 3 hours,
walked back to the steps,
and, using his strong hands
and not as strong feet,
went down forward this time!
No damages reported!
Everyone was clapping and all happy
to have him come to us
instead of us accommodating to him!
In another occasion, Charb helped me
by wrapping hotdogs...
He did a very good job ...
till we took his picture!
He declared: I'm quitting now!
and he did!
Bravo Charb!

May 2009 Breakthrough
First, we say "Thank You!" to Dorkas!
...And "a late" Happy Birthday!
We will have a big celebration this summer!
Back to Charb, here he is! In his van, and no wheelchair!
It is the first time in three and a half years!
Thanks to Wanda's dedication and hard work,
the efforts paid off! With Justin's help, she
was able to move Charb in the passenger seat!
"I wanna be driving", he said!
Hopefully soon!
"OK, let's go!"
Justin took him for a spin around town...
and ended at the beach!

Dare challenge him!
Responding to challenge!
The good thing about Charb being in the store is meeting with people!
He gets inspired!
He gets fired up! He gets moving!
Normally he says NO to any invitation to
work out, stand up, lift weights...
unless, as he says, you bribe him by food... or audience!
With people in the store, all you
have to do is say:
" Charb, they don't believe you can do it!"
He looks up at them and asks: "Do you want to see it?"
...The pics tell the story!
Thanks Shawn and Martina!

Back to Acadia swimming!
It is kind of unreal
to put another update so quickly!
We have too much to show
at once, and nothing for a while!
But I thought it will be
interesting to show the improvements
Charb is making now,
after his injury had healed!
NB: Check the photo album, too!
