I have a few minutes to use this computer. It is awful not having a computer...what did we ever do without them? Jess is trying so hard in therapies. Some days I am so glad we are here and other days I wonder why we are here. I know Jess needs lots of therapy everyday and everyone here is so considerate and knows a lot about brain injury. We do new things each day with the goal of finding the key to unlock Jess' ability to move and communicate. He is trying to find a way to connect his brain to his body. And, it is very complicated when so many neurons have been disconnected. The hardest part is the not knowing what he can regain. We just keep the faith and send lots of good energy to everyone involved in his recovery.
Jess and I entertained ourselves for New Year's. We had three days off so we went to the movies twice. I feel like we are movie stars when we go out in public. Some people are afraid to acknowledge us and some give us the real stare down. We also ventured into a large mall. I took Jess to the video game arcade, which was one of his favorite places and also to a Foot Locker shoe store, another favorite. It was raining all weekend so everywhere we went we got soaked. Maneuvering around in a wheelchair is a different world. And boy do I cuss those who park in the handicapped zones. I think about trying to get him around at home with 4 feet of snow. Maybe we will stay until spring....
We have received a lot of cards and letters and I read every single one to Jess and we talk about our life and all our wonderful friends. It is strange how you can make the best of being in a strange city with new people. Where there is a will...there is a way. Chris will be here this weekend and we are sure glad. Love to Idaho and to everyone visiting this site. Pam, Chris & Jess
