Week 10

Jacob and I got to visit Jay yesterday (Sunday)! Colleen Huston, a family friend, came up as well to do some work on Jay. She does reflexology. I can't tell you all the details because I am still learning her practice myself, but I must say she is a miracle worker! She is very good at what she does, and we all helped Jay strectch his fingers, wrists, and feet out to help relax him. She is very gentle with him, and very positive. Her positive energy is awesome, and I know Jason felt it. He did very well yesterday with his temperature maintaining around 99.6. He is awake more often and responding better. His storming is less often, but it is still happening. He lifts his right leg and arm, so now we are trying to get him to lift and look more with his left side. The neurologist had a good report for Jay! That was probably the most exciting part of yesterday for me. She finally saw progress!

Jason's friends Josh and Daniel came by. They were great, talking to Jay, telling him stories and even brought their high school football picture. Jason's friend Whitney also stopped by. He liked following her around the room and we all tried to see what he could do for us as far as tracking. He did quite well, but he is still having trouble turning to the left side. When Jason looks at you, we all feel he recognizes us but can't communicate to us what he knows. I could sense he was a little frustrated and agitated at times. Being positive and Hopefull is the best thing we can be for Jay right now. I hope to see Jay again soon, and maybe he can tell me something! My Grandma Diane is coming into town this week to be with my mom. They will visit Jay this week. I will post again at the end of the week, to let you know how that went. Until then, thanks for the love and support for Jay.
