As of today, Jess has been moved from ICU to the Neuro floor. He is doing well and is on his way to recovery. Jess's left arm was damaged during the accident and with time the doctors said he would have full use of his arm. Jess severed his spinal cord at the T-11 level and is paralyzed from the waist down. Jess is determined that with research, support and faith, he will maximize his mobility. For right now, everyone is taking things one day at a time and reminding ourselves how lucky we are that he is here with us and is the same old Jess. He is cracking jokes and taking this entire situation in stride. His spirits are high and already one of the hospital's favorites patent's! Emliy and Briley are right there by his side and Emily is an inspiration to us all. They will be making a decision within the next few days whether to go to Denver or stay in Missoula for rehab. We will keep everyone updated. We can not thank the families, friends and community of Dillon enough, the amount of support and prayers has been unreal and makes us all really feel loved. We are asking that if anyone wants to send a message to Jess, go to the St. Patricks Hospital website and send an email to him. He is already asking to read them. We will keep everyone posted with new pictures and updates. The community of Dillon is in the process of planning a fundraiser for Jess, we will keep you posted!
