Jess had a better week. The wonderful helpers at the horse arena said Jess had the best day yet on Thursday. He only needed to be "balanced" by Lisa who sits behind him. We are so lucky to have such wonderful therapy for Jess. He rides twice a week now. He also attended school and watched his classmates work on their computers. Before the accident he spent a lot of time on his computer so I just keep putting his mouse in his hand and hope something comes back to him. We are meeting with the school district again next week to structure a plan for more days at school and to schedule help from the school therapists with some assistive technology and therapy. It is possible to run a computer with your eyes or with very little movement from a finger. I pray for a way to communicate with him so he can have some choices again. We will also want to establish a group of friends that can be there for Jess while he is at school. It is hard for his friends to see Jess different than he was but I know he misses being a part of their world. He needs to know they have not forgotten him.
It was also Jamie's (Jess' sister) birthday this week. Happy Birthday, Jamie! She is coming home today from Boise. And, Joey has decided to come home for 3 months to help us. His office in Minneapolis is going to give him a leave of absence. Thank you so very much! Jess is very close to both his sister and brother. Their interaction is crucial to his recovery. And, we appreciate their help more than they will ever know.
