When we visited him on Saturday, Jesse's condition had improved further over Friday. As Emily mentioned, he was able to speak in coherent sentences, but he didn't have quite a handle on reality. He asked for the first time, "What's this thing on my arm?" His mom answered, "Your arm is broken. You can't take that off now... sorry." and she was quite amused by his response: "aw man!," spoken with standard Jesse intonation. I'm not sure he recognized everyone who came to visit, but we were all quite pleased to see him alert and communicating. Praise God for his grace.
