Today is New Year's Eve and personally I am very relieved to see midnight arrive and a new year begin. This is a year I would choose not to remember. For some reason our trauma doesn't seem to go away. The day after Christmas my son Joey took his girlfriend and her sister skiing, he fell and dislocated his shoulder, tore the rotator cuff, a muscle and bruised the bone. He is heading back to Minneapolis to have surgery. Jamie ended up with some kind of weird virus that the doctor said he has seen quite a few cases of in Boise where her throat swelled up with golf ball size bumps, she had 19 canker sores in her mouth and her gums were bleeding. He, of course asked her what kind of stress she was under because her immune system must be weak. Luckily, with medication it will go away. I don't even know what to say. For me to watch my children be hurt is just too much to bear and I can't seem to stop it. So, give me a new year, new energy, new miracles....I am ready.
On a better note, Jess has been lifting and lowering his right arm when I ask him which is a very new thing. A very good new thing. He has also been rolling his ankle and bending his stiff left leg for me. He is moving his head to the left and right more which means his neck muscles are getting stronger. And, his eye contact has been noticeably different to the speech therapist as improving each week. We think he even grinned at his dad.
Life is very interesting to say the least. We need to send some healing strength and energy to the people involved in the tragedy in Asia. Their trauma has to be unbearable...we cannot even imagine. As we know, we are all connected so...as you have done for us...we can do for them. Prayers are our only solution. Have a safe and happy New Year! Love, Pam, Chris & Jess
