Jess had a good day of therapy today. He is trying so hard. He tries to hold his head up while sitting in a high backed wheel chair. He had his neck in a hard neck brace for five weeks so his muscles are weak. He is trying hard to move his arms to do different tasks for the therapist but the messages are slow coming from the brain. He wiggles his toes upon command. Kelsey was here today and Chris asked Jess to give her a thumb's up if he knew she was in the room. He did! As they keep reminding us it is a slow long process to get his body working again. The brain is healing everyday and will make those connections when Jess is ready. Join me in a special prayer sent to us by Marianne Williamson:

Dear God,
Please hold our beloved Jess in your arms, and heal his mind and body. May angels surround him as he sleeps, restoring and repairing every cell of his being.
May vibrant health burst forth within him, and Christ cast out all else.
Amen
