Thanks to Joey we added a few new photos to the website. We tried to show you some of the activities Jess has been participating in. He has been very busy with therapies, horseback riding, skiing and school (three days a week now). Joey keeps asking us, "mom, how have you and dad been doing this for so many months?" We are constantly just trying to keep up and make sure we give our Jess the best possible chance we can to come back. We are glad to have him here to give us a hand. Chris' job has come to an end due to a lack of snow so now he will have to go back to work full time in construction. We both have such a hard time leaving Jess to go to work but with Joey here it will make it a little easier. What will we do when he leaves? We will just do the best we can.

It's been hard for us to watch the news lately with all of the controversy about Terry Shiavo (the lady with a brain injury whose husband removed her feeding tube after 15 years). I can't imagine what her parents are going through...especially being in our situation. Sometimes it is so hard to understand why these things happen. We are sending a lot of prayers to everyone involved.

On a positive note...Jess is eating blended fruits and vegies now and sips of juice. His swallow is getting stronger and stronger. He was able to trigger a button to turn his music on today by hitting it with his thumb. Chris asked him yesterday to raise his eyebrows if he loved his mom...he did!

We want to wish everyone a Happy Easter! Love, Chris, Pam, Jess, Joey, Jamie, Jahara, Grandma, Grandpa and the little pug!
