Jay is out of town?!!


Jay comes to Clovis! He is out of town!! Wohoo! Jason has not been out of Monterey in a while so we were so excited when he arrived at my house with my parents! Whitney even came too! It was great to have him here. It has almost been a year since he has been to my house. We ate ribs, yummy food, and sat in the sun all day sunday. Jason always liked to sit in the sun and soak up the rays! We didn't use Jay's spell board once the whole trip! This is the first time I have not had to use it with him. Every time I see him something is better and his speech definitely has improved! Still muffles some words and talks really high when he gets adamant or excited about something...we say "Tone it down!" ha ha. Jason got more botox in his wrists and the right one is opening up more. The left one is still a challenge. Jay needs motivation and pushing! It is not time to get comfortable, which he has done a little bit. He is scared of falling when standing and always states a "What if" statement. He says he needs to change his way of thinking and I know some of it he can't control. He has big goals for himself. With your encouragement and support I know he can obtain them!

More family visits!



Our cousin Aimee came to visit Jason last weekend. She brought her darling baby who just turned 1! Jay got to visit with family and enjoy the little ones! Jacob went with the twins for an overnighter trip. It means a lot to Jay to have family come and visit. Once again we are amongst the holiday season and I hope we can enjoy having Jason home and family around. It is still difficult at times but this is the season of hope and faith and I know Jason is trying and has a lot of people behind him who believe in him.
