Jess had acupuncture this morning which seems to relax him for the day. She took a look at me and said I think you need a little help too. How lucky could I get? He also had physical therapy and a visit from his doctor. He said everything looked good and he was glad to see how alert he was and glad to hear he was responding to some commands. It is a slow process as we have been told many times. We also had a visit from a new friend in the valley who has walked in our footsteps. She was so encouraging to let us know there is hope and things do get better. Chris' sister from Cleveland arrived today to spend two weeks with us. Jen is a registered nurse with many years experience. What a gift we have received with her presence. The highlight of Jess' day was a visit from Kelsey. And, now he is sleeping so we all are going to get some rest too. Good night...God bless you all!
