Life Connection In Action
Mr. Credille’s Connection
Braxton Credille was admitted Courtyards Community Living Center after suffering a stroke that affected his left side. Mr. Credille was a very active individual who was competing in 5k races up until May 2013. After about 8 months of intensive therapy, it was evident that Mr. Credille was not going to be able to regain his prior level of function and be able to return home or run competitively.
The Reconnection Plan
Through the Life Story, it became clear there were several disconnects: a disconnection from self – running and participating in races; a disconnection with nature – running outdoors; and a disconnection with others – running with others and competing. Trying to find a way to help him cope with his depression, anger, and resentment, Mr. Credille’s nephew, Brian, came up with the idea of entering him into a 5k race that was fast approaching. So, with the help of Mike Stamper, Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant, they began jogging and pushing Mr. Credille around the track at Courtyards Community Living Center to see if they could pull off their idea.
The Result
On May 24th, 2014, Mike and Brian took turns pushing Mr. Credille in the Shepherd’s Hand 5k race!! After the success of the first race, the duo teamed up once again, in August, for the Bear Creek Festival 5k race! Mr. Credille currently resides at Courtyards Community Living Center and continues to work at regaining his independence.
