We drove to Boise today to get Jess' new wheelchair. We, of course, have a love/hate relationship with a wheelchair. We were so hopeful that he would not still be in one but we are so very thankful for a much better model. Joey is taking Jess to school 3 days a week and sitting in this chair will be much easier for a long period of time. It has so many adjustments we were at the wheelchair company for 4 hours. Whew...

So, we are still seeing little improvements. Jamie was home this weekend and noticed a lot of small changes that we take for granted. Little Jahara kept giving her Uncle Jess kisses and holding his hand. She puts a small ball in his hand to try to get him to throw it to her. He looks at her with those big blue eyes like he appreciates her attention. She is almost two.

We have been taking Jess swimming once a week and he is so relaxed in the water. Hopefully we can continue and are very thankful for the opportunity to get him in the water. Skiing is over and we are so grateful to Sun Valley Company....Hans, Mark and Bob for taking such good care of Jess. We are very lucky to live in this valley where so many are so supportive and caring to our Jess. Thank you!
