I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. I had all of my kids and my mom here with me. The only gift I did not receive was Jess saying "Hi Mom". I was hoping so much to hear those words.
He is doing well. Joey and I took him to the high school play "Guys and Dolls". He loved to help the drama class build the sets and seemed to know where he was in the auditorium and looked so intently at the lights, the audience and especially perked up when he heard his best friend, Curtis, singing. I know he missed being apart of the the gala event.
We have had to try a different way of riding at the horse arena. Charlie Brown got a little to "spunky" and worried everyone regarding Jess' safety so Charlie is in training right now. Jess has been riding another horse "Camo" but cannot have a back rider so we had to position Jess laying on his back on the horses back. Very interesting....but it works. Jess' neck is getting stronger and he turns it frequently left and right but he still cannot sit alone or hold his head up. We just need more time and patience on all our parts.
School is going well too. Jess goes 3 days a week from 12:30 to 4:30. He attends a fun class with a lot of his old friends or goes to his computer class, then 4 of his friends (Billy, Reno, Morgan and Dillon) meet with him and hang out discussing important issues I'm sure. At the end of the day he works out with the school speech and occupational therapists for an hour. He and Joey ride the bus home. We are hoping he will remember how much he didn't want to ride the bus and wanted to drive his own car. Stimulation is the key!
So, we are still hanging in there. Chris and I have our good positive days and are hard questioning days. We don't understand a lot of this whole journey. We miss our son and we want so much for him to be able to enjoy life, friends and family again. We will wait for how ever long it takes...what other choice do we have. Life is interesting, isn't it?
