March 2nd, 2011

Jigger got his wish today.... finally a private room (for now), room mate was shipped out!  Jason told the nurses he wanted to interview any prospective room mates.  Another big first, Jason just had is first bath today, felt fantastic.... spa day at the Alex.  But it did tire him out as he had to hold his head up.  Jigger finally has Internet in room so for the first time has checked his emails and is now up-to-date on things,  very much enjoyed being in the loop.
  Jiggers working hard on his pincher grasp :)  Part of the new program had physio twice today.

HOLDING THE ROPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Good Morning Jason and Collette. I was in the Glenrose about a year ago as I had a fractured spine also. My injury is at the t12 area. I have visited with Sharon but I wanted to pass on my email address if there was anyway I could help. It is fantastic to see all the love and support you are both receiving but if I could assist in anyway please don't hesitate to contact me.
    Take Care

  4. Hi Jigger and Colette

    Glad to hear that your roommate got airlifted home, and very happy that you have a room to yourself for a few ..... days/minutes .. whatever!

    And now you have a computer as well as a few other goodies! You are sure to get called to the Glenrose now that you have a few luxuries in life!

    That ROPE is getting shorter at the bottom end .. too many people hanging on! Hope you are moved soon.

    Love
    Charlotte & Gord

  12. Hello Jason and Colette,
    Awesome news, just heard about the big move tomorrow. You are going to do great there. Love the "Holding the Rope " story - you have so many people holding the rope. It is great to see how many lives you both have touched over the years. Loved, Griffin's picture in the paper, it is so cute. When I think of the two of you and your families, I think of a favorite quote. "To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage." Lao Tzu
    Fitting because I do not know anyone else with more strength or courage. Good luck tomorrow. We will see you soon, can't wait.
    Keep up the great work! Keep on, keeping on.
    Love, Brent, Lisa, Jacob, Zachary and Nathaniel
