Jessica Update

Jessica, today, with her mom.

In April, I shared Jessica’s story.  Her family had neglected her and left her for dead. Today I have good news.  Things  have changed in Jessica’s life.  After a visit from the local health department and some conversations with our team, Jessica’s mom started bringing Jessica back to therapy regularly.  As a result, we have seen significant  changes including:  a weight gain of three pounds, the healing of her pressure sores, and a return of movement in her arms and legs.  And even more exciting, we are watching her mom take an interest in and interact more with Jessica.  Jessica appears to be responding.

Thank you for your prayers.   Please continue to pray as there is still much to be done.  Jessica’s mom is excepting another child soon and we hope this will not change the forward progress we are seeing.
