Last night was pretty rough on Jess. He was in a room with 2 other patience and since one couldn't sleep it meant Jess couldn't either. But today took a better turn. He was able to get some sleep early this morning and then met with physical therapy for the first time. It was a long hour of practicing rolling over, weight exchanges, and getting in and out of a wheelchair. So after a long night and a hard workout he was able to sneak in a little nap before heading off to occupational therapy. Since it was his first day at OT we basically went through a tour of the rehab center and found out what to expect in the coming weeks.
This afternoon Jess was able to move into a different room that only has one roommate. It already seems so much quieter and hopfully that will mean more sleep.
Little Miss Briley has taken to playing with a toothbrush. She loves it so much that she even slept with it last night and then again today during one of her naps. Isn't it crazy what entertains kids?

Emily, Jess & Briley,
I just absolutely love the pictures and the updates. It helps me so much being so far away. You are both so strong. Andrew's in Karate now and Makayla is looking to take horse riding lessons. She thought you'd like to hear that. Our trip to Montana sparked a fire for her and horses. Keep the pictures coming. I love it!!!!

You are an inspiration to all

Briley asleep with the toothbrush is precious.
Hi Jess & Emily..The picture of Briley is so great.
We are all thinking of you on your journey.
With other friends, I went to the gathering to prepare for the benefit on Jan. 2. The enthusiasm and love felt for you and your family in that room was just amasing. Everyone is so excited to their part to help make it a roaring success. The ideas people are coming up with for the auction is so great. Your success and the enduring courage that you and your family are going through has just inspired all of us to work together for a great event.
Talk to you again soon..Jess & Emily
Your friends, Anna Belle and Andy

Briley is such a cutie and I love the way she is hanging on to that toothbrush. I can't even get Mikey to brush :) I know Mom mentioned that you guys can call for anything but I just wanted to mention it again - you have our numbers and we are truly right down the street. Let us know how you feel about drop ins.

Jess,
I did not hear about your accident until recently. We were all saddened with the news and you are in our thoughts and prayers. Carla, Matt, Anna, and Rita and I all wish you well. I have know doudt that you have all the strenght and character that all the Alberi's have and that you will somehow be a stronger man. You have a beautiful wife and daughter. Hang in there Jess. I hope I get to see you sometime, but probably will not be able to come to Dillon the 2nd. Please let me know when you come down to Red Lodge.
