Thank you for keeping us informed. Prayers continue...
UPDATE
We still don’t know much because Jesse’s test results haven’t come back yet, but there is some news.
He’s in a regular room now and says he’s feeling pretty good, although his pain level is still high. The surgery to clean the wounds has been postponed because his white blood cell count is too high. His shoulder is still hurting, which worries us, but all we can do is wait.
When my husband and another friend were visiting Jesse yesterday he did some leg/foot and hand/arm exercises, and he was able to stretch and move his legs and move and rotate his feet. Also, he was able to squeeze a ball so tightly that it was obvious that he has strength in his right hand.
Despite the pain, Jesse’s sleeping and eating well and he’s optimistic. (Jesse’s always optimistic. He’s also extraordinarily selfless.)
Finally, my husband told Jesse about this prayer thread and he was deeply touched. Jesse is used to giving to others - seriously, he does so much for others that he easily puts me to shame - but he isn’t accustomed to being helped or to being given so much attention. He’s very, very thankful for all of your prayers.
Jesse’s friends appreciate your prayers, too.
I apologize for not updating more often. I’m packing up the house because we’re moving so life resembles a giant whirlwind right now.
Thank you all very, very much for your prayers.
Much love -
