It was a good day for Jess. We are back on track to taking awesome baby steps every day. Today the recreational therapist was able to get Jess to hit a buzzer that made a sound to answer a question yes. It was amazing. Kelsey was here and asked him if he liked basketball and he rolled his hand to hit the buzzer. Do you think he was showing off for someone very special to him? We also compared his scribble of his name from yesterday to a sample of his writing and it was so similar they were impressed. He wiggled his toes and gave the doctor a thumb's up when she came in to visit. Couldn't have been better timing! If he continues on this path he will get to stay here for more rehabilitation. Please help us pray for this to happen. We know Jess needs to be here at the Elk's. They all want him to succeed. We know he will succeed. We are blessed....
