Beuschlein Pool Lift Renovation Update 8/17/2022

Thank you so much to everyone that shared and donated to our Pool Remodeling fundraiser!! The accessible pool lift is officially installed and now we just have a couple more weeks to go until the deck is redone.
Chris started aquatic therapy at Saguaro Fitness and Rehabilitation in September 2021 because they had an accessible pool lift. It was there that Chris took his first steps since his accident, nearly a year and a half later. His Physical Therapist Christine worked him hard and he loved every second he was in the water. He gained so much from aquatic therapy. Most importantly, it gave him hope and freedom!!
Unfortunately, our allowed visits were used up and therapy was put on hold. We returned in April 2022 but it was evident Chris lost a lot of functional strength being away from therapy. Christine let us know that there was a fitness plan in which we could continue working independently during scheduled open pool times. Chris jumped on the opportunity to spend as much time as he could working out in the water.
Along the way, I have documented many of his aquatic therapy sessions. It made it possible to see the difference 6 months away from PT will do to a person. Some friends stopped in to see us here at home. They inquired what we would have to do in order to get a pool lift installed at home. We talked for a good long while, mostly me griping about insurance limitations and cost. Our friends just smiled and let me vent. As I caught my breath, they told us they would like to help get a lift installed because the proof was right there in those videos; the therapy was helping Chris regain his strength and ability to walk!
There have been so many integral folks behind this project. We couldn't have met the goal without you. Our appreciation is beyond words, so just know that we love you more than you know.
A big thank you to Phillip of Saguaro Fitness and Rehabilitation for taking on the installation part of the process. He and Lance worked very hard to make sure everything is secure and safe for Chris.
As mentioned, we have‪@abovebeyondpoolremodeling‬ coming out at the end of August to renovate our pool and deck and we are so ready for it!! We know they are going to look amazing!! From the start we have been impressed with the communication with A&B. Scott was fantastic to talk to about our project and he was so uplifting. Denise made the tile and interior selection process so easy. We love supporting Veteran-owned companies and secondary to that, owner Michael grew up in the Mesa, AZ area like us. Denise also went to the same high school Chris and I did! This is a big community but small world!!
Thank you again everyone, for making this project a reality!!
Forever grateful,
Valerie and Chris Beuschlein
