UPDATE: OCTOBER 20, 2003: MONDAY: One of Chris' biggest supporters from day one has been pro skater Jeff Ferris. He was kind enough to send a care package just because he wanted to brighten a day for Chris. We had this while Chris was still "sleeping and resting from his injury." One reason Jeff took to Chris so much, we found out later, is that his brother, Tom, is bravely battling brain cancer. We ask that you pray for both Tom and the Ferris family for all the Lord's grace and compassion. His brother has given of himself and when you pray for Chris, please include Tom.

UPDATE: OCTOBER 20, 2003: MONDAY: Another week starts out today. It is so hard to believe that we have come so far; that Chris has come so far. The efforts, prayers, concern of all of you has made such a difference and we are thankful.

UPDATE: OCTOBER 19, 2003: SUNDAY: Chris had a good day. He spent some time in the morning with Miss and Sam Boyer. They were kind and Chris had a nice time with them.

UPDATE: OCTOBER 18, 2003: SATURDAY: Chris was able to make it to his fund benefit on two outings. The benefit was a wonderful success and we are so thankful for everything.
