Jessika
This is my beautiful niece Jessika she is such a blessing to our family
and we are so glad to have her she has taught us so much in the 9 years she
has been here. Let me tell you a little about her, Jess was diagnosed shortly after birth with cerebral palsy, The day she was born was
so exciting for the family she is my brother and sister in laws first baby and the second grandchild on both sides, so we all could not wait to meet her, she was perfect in every way, later that night my brother and sister in law noticed that she was having a hard time feeding and that her little legs were shaking, concerned by this they called the nurse who took her to the nursery and called
the Doc, after many tests they found that she had suffered major strokes 2 in utero and one shortly after birth, the strokes have caused speech impairment and paralysis on the right side of her body. Over the last 9 years she has had several surgeries and has done many standard forms of therapy to help one day give her better function of her body, so that she can walk, talk, play and perform daily tasks we all consider simple. For the last week she has been attending an alternative form of therapy called Now I Can(http://www.nowican.org/) it is an intensive form of physical therapy done 5 days a week 4 hours a day for 3 weeks, Jessika is making BIG strides on day 5 of therapy she took her first steps and stood alone for 3 seconds, she is working so hard towards her goal of walking and we are all so so proud of her she is an amazing girl we want to see her reach her goals. Because this therapy is so costly we have decided to do a garage sell to help raise money to provide here with some maintenance therapy after her 3 week session so she can hopfully reach her goals, if you would like to donate items to be sold please contact me by email at mbwhaw@msn.com I am hoping to have all donations priced and organized and ready to go by the 18th. We are planning the garage sell for Saturday August 21st from 8:00 - 2:00
