Well, we made it through all of the special occassions. Not much new news but I do have some good news. I have a wonderful person helping me now, along with Daniel. Her name is Amanda and she has worked as a Certified Nurse's Aide for 10 years. She has worked in a rehab center in Pocatello for the last 3 years with a lot of brain injuries. She is going to school to become an RN. As usual, I am so blessed to have the right people show up in my life. She applied for the job at the high school to replace Joey next year and I was able to get her to help me at home too. We thank and appreciate you, Amanda!
Chris also got the ceiling lift installed completely and it is so wonderful. We can get him in and out of the bathtub so much easier and I move him from the bed to wheelchair or from the wheelchair to the couch or floor all by myself. And, the nurse at my insurance company called and said they may be able to reimburse us for part of the cost. Never hurts to ask the question.
As far as any big changes go with Jess' condition...we still only see small ones and that has to be ok. Today, I don't want to elaborate on that much because... it hurts. At least I know there is always tomorrow.
I have been asked for the address to the Sagebrush Arena. It is P.O. Box 394, Sun Valley, Id 83353. They are having their annual fund raiser this Thursday. If you are looking for a wonderful place to donate and help many disabled children and adults it is a good one. And, you can do it in Jess' name. He will continue to ride twice a week for as long as it takes. And only because of the amazing volunteers that make it possible.
