Jess should be walking down the aisle to get his high school diploma right now. It has been a hard week for our family. We were all so looking forward to celebrating Jess' graduation. He only needed 5 credits to graduate. We keep asking why this has to happened to such a good person. Jess was so full of life and love and was looking forward to so many things in life. I guess we will never have those answers...we don't get many of our questions answered. We just get to wait and trust and try to stay positive.
Jess shut down for a couple of weeks. For some reason, maybe knowing it was his graduation, he just didn't want to respond to any of us. It had everyone worried. And then, this week he is back. On Monday he was moving on command a lot for Tami our physical therapist. John the occupational therapis got some good movement from his right arm (which we haven't seen for awhile) he also witnessed Jess controlling his head by using muscles we have been waiting to see wake up. He even had Jess kneeling vertically with support. John amazes us in how he can get Jess in so many different positions. And today at school the therapist were excited to see Jess repeatedly moving his left leg up and down triggering a switch to turn on his music. We have also been getting good consistent answers with his yes/no gaze board. So, we have faith...we will never lose faith.
Congratulations again to all of Jess friends who finally made it! We are proud of you all! Maybe you can come back next year and help Jess celebrate!
