Amazing! I just got the urge to update Jess' website. We are in Tustin, CA at a rehab center called High Hopes. We have been here for one week. I found it on the internet when I was looking for Quadricisers. They have 10 of them so we decided to come down and check them out before we make an attempt to purchase one. They are awesome and this place is truly a gift for anyone with a brain injury. The people that run it are so positive and they know how to really work someone who has been left behind.

We are still on the path of looking for a miracle. Jess is healthy, strong, a little too skinny, tall and has one too many seizures for our liking. We have tried so many different things and have so many more to try I'm sure. It is pretty sad to see just how many people there are walking the same path we are and having the same but different challenges. I am just so grateful I can be by my son's side and help him through this journey. Many are not so fortunate!

Jess has a new computer. Yes, I finally got him an eye gaze computer in which he can operate it with his eyes. Not consistently "yet" but we do get some pretty amazing results at times. I just want to talk to him so bad to see what his world consists of and how he is feeling. I feel he is comprehending more that we give him credit for andhe just can't find a way to respond back.

Well, I am not sure who checks this webite anymore but it is a good way for me to keep a history of our adventures. If you know of someone struggling with a brain injury or other challenges I would recommend you check out High Hopes!

With high hopes for Jess,
Pam, Chris & Jess
