We heard there was one amazing party held in Hailey last night in honor of our son, Jess. My daughter, Jamie, called us in tears saying, "you wouldn't believe how many people were there to support my little brother". We wish we could have been there. There are not words large enough for our family to use to thank our community...our friends for what went on at Jess' benefit last night. We will spend our lifetimes giving back to whoever and whatever we can to show our gratitude. I have always believed "you have to give to receive". You are all incredibly wonderful and our love goes out to each and every person who participated in Jess' party. We live in an unbelievably gracious community. Chris heard Jess moaning in the night...we think the echo of "wake-up Jessie" traveled from Haily to Boise and he heard all of his wonderful friends sending him the message.
I have not made it into the computer room the last few nights to update you on Jess' progress. According to the therapists, Jess has reached a "plateau". They think he needs to leave the Elk's for a little while until he can "wake-up" and respond better to the therapy. We struggled with many emotions since we received the news last Friday. We had to come to the conclusion that for whatever reason we are being led down this new path, we must accept it and be positive that it is the best for Jess. We received these words on a card that I would like to share:
"With God, every day is a day to hope for the best, to believe our prayers are being heard, to believe good news is on its way and that anything can happen between yesterday and tomorrow." We only have today...
Our love and gratitude to all!
