Jesse had a busy Friday - three (3) occupational therapy (OT) sessions followed a solid night's sleep Thursday night. Josh & Eileen & Molly and two Juniata friends filled the evening's night, starting off Jesse's latest project -- Sea Monkeys! -- courtesy of Jesse's friend Gill with a G. Taco night wasn't a big hit, but Eileen's cookies were.
Jesse had the stitches removed from his face and nose on Friday; he also was able to focus and fully bend his right index finger, so he's still making noticeable improvements! OT involved gripping and riding an exercise bike. He's able to roll over freely in bed (to reach his Swedish Fish).
We're visiting now on Saturday, and Jesse's walking the length of the parallel bars (twice) -- unthrilled with the beef stew for lunch, but Eileen brought ziti to tide him over.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThis is Melody, Jesse's roadside nurse. I am so grateful to know how Jesse's doing! I've been wondering and praying every day.
The Lord had perfect timing, I talked with a co-worker an extra 5 minutes or I would've been past the accident site.I didn't really do much, but assessed him and knew he needed to be still. He told me that his neck hurt and he didn't have full dexterity of his right hand. When they started bracing the car and cutting him out, the firemen insisted that I move and let one of their own take my place. I didn't want to leave him. Guess my maternal instinct kicked in. :}
But I held one side of his head and slid back out of the small window while TJ crawled in and took my place. I didn't leave until I saw him lying on the stretcher safely. I took a second and told him, "You're gonna be ok." Then I went home and hit my knees. I only spoke to him a little while, but could tell he is a wonderful young man with a bright future. I'll be watching to see his progress. I just wanted to tell him that I feel truely blessed to have been there for Jesse. Take care, Melody Kane
