We just got Jess to bed after his bath and a walk down the bike path. I guess we have established a routine that is working. Chris and I both have a hard time realizing this is all real sometimes. We don't talk about the what if's...we just do what needs to be done every day. It is strange how we both are so anxious when we leave Jess for a moment to rush back in hopes that things have changed. We both hope to get that phone call saying "guess what". Even if it was to hear there was a small new movement that was different. The biggest change lately has been Jess' eyes. He is so aware when you walk up to his side or into his room and if you ask him to follow your hand with his eyes to look to the right or left he can.
Jess starts school in another week and we are pleased that Amanda will be taking him to school. She has been such a wonderful help to me and a good friend to Jess. He hasn't seen many friends this summer and a lot have gone off to college but it will be good for him to be around kids his own age. I am sure he gets tired of us. He has a couple of weeks off from horse therapy but we will continue to have our therapists come to the house. We are so blessed with wonderful helpers... they all have the same goal...to get Jess back on his feet again.
It's hard to believe summer is coming to an end, Joey will be getting married here in 10 days, that it has been 14 months since the accident and that we seem to be surviving. We try not to think about the future and want to forget the past. We continue to thank everyone for hanging in there with us and for continuing to pray and keep in touch. We couldn't have made it this far without all of your support. Love to you all!
