It has been 8 weeks today that we have sat at Jess' bedside in different hospitals. Someone asked me how we were doing today. It was such a strange question because I don't know how we should be doing. Our son is fighting for his life, fighting to remember how to use his body again and fighting to communicate. And, all we can do is sit by his side...and watch...and send him all the energy and love that we have. So I guess that is how we are doing. And our son is doing the best he can do.
