9/8/04 at 9:47 p.m.

Jess had a busy day starting at 8:00 a.m. with John Vladimiroff our occupational therapist. He had Jess on his bedroom floor bending him and moving his body into positions he has not been in for 12 weeks. Jess seemed to enjoy it. He also felt Jess looked directly at him as though he wanted to know who he was. Then, the physical therapist Tammy was encouraged by getting Jess to respond to her asking him to wiggle toes and open and close his hand and move his arm. All very good things for us to witness. Early in the afternoon Joan, our acupuncturist, worked with Jess to help ease the muscle spasms and send energy to the brain for healing. We feel very fortunate to have these wonderful caring people helping Jess. The hardest part of a brain injury is no one knows the outcome or the speed at which someone's brain can heal. We just have to trust that his outcome will be the very best.

We are still in awe at the abundance we are receiving from Jess' benefit. We are forever grateful...
