Today is even better than yesterday! Still all smiles. Jack smiles so much more than he used to and there is this new "light" behind his eyes. It's just different..in a good way. A new sense of awareness...a new perspective. It is so amazing to see already. We have been seeing small differences in him everyday, and the doctors say the "big" changes will hopefully come in a couple of months. It is just so gratifying to see these small changes (which are HUGE to us) so far!
We can really tell he is feeling so much better. His head doesn't seem to bother him anymore. He did great in therapy. We are so glad he is doing this inpatient rehab, because I know that if it was just me I would not push him like they do at this point.
Today is also a special day because it is our 5th Wedding Anniversary...and even though Tony and I are apart, we still have reason to celebrate. We could not ask for a better gift.
Here are a few pictures of Jackson at breakfast, lunch and therapy today. (sorry- my pics are a little blurry) Thank you for keeping Jackson in your prayers!

It is good to hear from you what I thought I was seeing in his pictures. He does seem to have a different look about him and even Chad thought that as well. I am so happy for y'all. It is amazing how quickly he is recovering. I know how much you must have needed this after all this time. I can't wait to see him! Have a Happy Anniversary!
Reading your blog brings tears to my eyes because it is exactly what we were all hoping and praying for! It definitely shows in the pictures and I can only imagine how you must feel to experience this with Jackson.
Love you...

So happy for Jackson, You and Tony. He looks great. Happy Anniversay. You are right, you could have not asked for a better present than Jackson's health. He seems to be a very happy boy. We continue to pray for full recovery. We love you guys.

Each time I check in I am more amazed than the last!Jackson is another testament to the courage,resiliency and determination of these children.We learn so much from them all, daily.What a miracle we have been able to see through Jacksons road traveled and we all look forward to seeing what lies ahead!
This is good stuff!! This is just the first in a series of great things. I have no doubt.
If you like, I could see about reserving Kay's for his welcome home party. I know Wolfman would give a great speech in his honor.
Thanks for keeping us posted.
