December 3, 2006

Friday Jesse received in the mail three packages from AVID students at Redlands East Valley High School. Jesse worked as a tutor in the program, and one of Jesse's fellow tutors seems to have organized the gifts and sending them. Jesse was very pleased to get these thoughtful gifts. There was a really big card that the students made, there was a terrific panaramic photo of all the kids and they also gave him a nice box. It really cheered him up.

Yesterday (Saturday) Jesse and I (Jesse's dad)went to a men's breakfast meeting at church. Jesse had a really hearty breakfast, along with the rest of us, and then enjoyed the discussion at our table.

Jesse reports that his therapy is indeed showing improvement in his range of motion in both his left knee and his left elbow. He keeps working on his left wrist on his own. He is slowly able to better twist it with its own muscles. He is able to play his guitar some now, although he plays it vertically. As he is able to supinate (that's the term for the outward rolling of the wrist) he should be able to play in a more conventional fashion.
