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 -
pax
Prayers on the way.

You take care, too. Moving can be stressful. (((hugs)))
Thank you so much for keeping us informed. Prayers continue...
Continued prayers for Jesse. I will also incorporate prayers from my friends on facebook for him.
Glory to God for the good news! We are glad to hear of Jesse’s situation, and continuing to keep him in our our thoughts and prayers.
God bless you during the challenges of moving. Hang in there!

Prayers up! BTT
Prayers that Jesse’s condition will continue to improve. He’s fortunate to have such wonderful friends, pax.
Thank you for the update. I will continue to keep Jesse and his caregivers in my prayers. We’ll take good news in whatever increments they may come, right?
I’ll also say a prayer for you and your hubby/family...that your move goes without a hitch. Are you still going to be near Jesse?
Blessings to all.
Prayers and confidence in their power...
