Well, we were able to get on a computer at the Elk's so we are very happy to tell everyone that we are here. We have had quite the journey getting here but we made it. Jess went through many therapies today. He had physical therapy in which he sat up again in the wheel chair for about 30 minutes, then he had occupational therapy working on his hands and arms, off and on he had the respiratory therapist working to cap the trachea again and get him breathing through his mouth and nose, and then we had a speech therapist visit but Jess was pretty tired so she will do more tomorrow. We have a team of people that evaluate Jess daily and work together to plan what will be in his best interest. The insurance will only pay for 50% of his stay for two weeks. If he can "wake up" and succeed in doing more commands we can stay. So, "wake up my son". We missed reading our messages...they mean so much! Thank you...
