Jess is doing much better. We are back to our daily therapies, feedings and interaction with him. Today we, with the help of our physical therapist, stood Jess up two times. He rests his chin on his dad's shoulder so Jess has grown to probably 6'2. He is too thin though and I am working with the nutritionalist to figure out how to put some weight on him. She said he is burning a lot of calories in the healing process. I am giving him almost 3000 calories a day. We also started a new therapy using quantum physics and it was good to have our acupuncturist back. Jess is much more relaxed after her visits. This journey we are on has many challenges...we keep hearing we will all be better for it...let's hope so. It was 4 months yesterday!
