Never has our home looked and been so inviting. I just wanted to lay on the floor and cry when I opened the front door. Jess traveled home in our van in the back seat next to me. He was very mellow...I think he knew where we were going. Thank you, Linda, for being our chaffeur. Chris drove the motorhome behind us. We are a little overwhelmed with hospital equipment, supplies and over 2 month's worth of stuff we accumulated in our stay in Boise. The paperwork alone is too much to endure. But, we are home safe and are so glad to be here. Jess has been doing some very different things since our arrival. He has a sign over his bathroom door that says "basketball rules". He stared at it for a very long time with a look of frustration and then all of a sudden he moved his right knee up and down and started more aggressive movements in his hands and arms. Maybe, just maybe this will finally spur our "wakeup". We had a very busy day with tube feedings every 3 hours, turning him every 2 hours, getting him up 2 or 3 times a day in his wheel chair, doing range of motion, organizing our totally unorganized life, scheduling in home therapies, finding a nutritionalist to get some weight on our skinny guy, researching an acupuncturist and most importantly... taking that spare moment to thank God that we are home safe and then asking kindly for help to keep us strong enough to know the right way to comfort and care for Jess while he continues on his path to recovering perfect, whole and complete.
Please forgive us if we don't get your phone calls, emails or letters answered right away. We are a little overwhelmed. But please know we are so grateful for your concern...our lives will settle down and we so look forward to hugging and thanking every single person that has touched us in one way or another. It is our goal....we are so blessed.
