Mr. January?!

Today at Jay's P.E. Class they were talking about making a calendar and Jason can be "Mr. January!" In a speedo!!! ha ha! He is the cutest one there and everyone likes to joke with Jay. I got to go watch him for a little bit and it was cool to see him do the bike and stand in the "stand frame." We even got a night out for our friend Shaun's B-day! Jay ate halibut with shrimp and ate every bite. Jay and I are excited once again for Michael & Lisa to come out in a week!!! Can't wait for Jay to show off his skills and just hang out. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thumb war?!!

Look how cute these two are?! Playing thumb war, great game, but also great exercise for Jay's fingers. I am so thankful for Whitney's friendship with Jason. I did not know Whitney before Jay's accident but right after Jay's accident she called me. She wanted to come and see Jason in the hospital and said she used to work with him at R.G Burgers. After talking with her, she let me know how Jason had left an impression on her and how she loved his kindness and how he treated her. Whitney has been a part of Jason's recovery from the beginning and it all had to do with Jason being nice to her at work. We can all make impressions that last a lifetime. I am glad Jason chose to be kind at work and give respect to those around him. People remember. Keep the thumb wars up Jay! You look great!!

I love how Jay sits on the couch now! He looks so good in this pic. He looks like he might have Whitney in a neck hold but who wouldn't she is a babe! ha ha just kidding Jay! I love how he can put his arm around you now. He starts physical therapy 3 times a week so can't wait to see how he does with that. My mom attended a seminar this week by a lady named Jill Taylor who is a doctor who had a stroke/brain injury. She has been on Oprah, wrote a book, etc and talks about how she recovered from her brain injury. Interestingly, she studies the brain for her profession, so to actually experience a brain injury was crazy! She is recovered and I have heard her speak of her stroke and how our brains are the most complex organ. I am excited for next month when our older brother Michael comes to visit! I think Jay will enjoy this holiday season much better than last year.
