Jason has been recovering well from his surgery, walking when he can with a brace, and has moved to rehab. Good news: he should be coming home in two weeks!!
Naomi has been having more awake time, which is wonderful, although she is very emotional. Partly due to the disorientation of being in the hospital and partly due to the tubes in her mouth which prevent her from really communicating. She has been able to answer yes and no questions and give a good squeeze to the nurses. Naomi is such a brave girl and has come leaps and bounds already in the past week! Fortunately her breaks in her pelvis and back won't require surgery, but she will need a pelvic brace before she can sit up.
The boys get their stitches out tomorrow!! Tamra and Jonas have been back to school for two days now, and hopefully Elijah will join them soon. It's nice to have a little slice of "normal" when everything else is so far from their usual reality.
Jen is doing well. Her follow up appointment from her surgery will be next week. I'm not sure if the cast pieces will come off for good or if the external pin will be removed, but there will be a step in that direction.
It's tough to have the emotional damage and the physical reminders of the accident, but at least every day is better than the previous. No one is regressing, Slowly but surely, everyone is healing inside and out.

This was a great update to read!! Naomi continues to be in our thoughts as we look for improvements like you noted here. Morgan has been concerned and asks often for updates.
Glad to hear Tamra and Jonas are back at school as well. Kyle will be looking for Elijah next!
