From Jennifer: "We want to continue to thank everyone for kind thoughts and actions. We are grateful for the many referrals and forwards about state of the art treatments. Thanks to all of you who have mentioned The Miami Project. We have talked with them and they are sending information about their research programs for children. We have also been in touch with the Christopher Reeve Foundation, U C Irvine, Rutgers University, BioEden's Stem Cell program and Lazer Treatments. Because Chris is 10 years old several people feel that during his lifetime there will be significant advancements. We are responsibly investigating these potential treatments. We must also however learn how to function on a daily basis upon discharge from the hospital. Currently we are dealing with pain management for the neuropathic pain Chris is experiencing. It is very real to him and we want him to be comforted. We are grateful to our Chiropractor/acupuncturist/massage therapist who visits Chris. He has much less pain following one of her massages/treatments. Thank you Beth Marx!!"

Richard and Jennifer say: "A huge thank you to everyone who participated in and attended the benefit concert at the Chapel of the Chimes on Sunday. The energy was overflowing with love, caring, enthusiasm and above all community spirit. People came together to enjoy an afternoon of music and food and to share thoughts of encouragement with us. Our sincere thanks to Jim Callahan, Enid Hunkeler and all the event planners and volunteers. Special thanks to 'John' for his many hours of preparation. We recorded parts of the event and showed Chris later that night. He enjoyed watching it. Chris is also in school at Children's. He has a full day schedule and is enjoying visits from his schoolmates."

Jennifer says: "From the second I entered the room I began to cry. Looking to my left, right or straight ahead I saw my co-workers from the Division of Research (Kaiser) selling tickets, serving food or beverages and much more. Thank you so very much. You know I love you all.'"
