In the year since his accident in February, 2010, Jonesy made remarkable progress, with the help of the caring staff at the Kessler Institute in New Jersey and especially the Good Samaritan Home in Delmar, NY.  He returned to his newly renovated home with Lisa & Liliana in February and continues to improve with support of therapists and friends.

He has lots of motion in his shoulders, shrugging them often. His right side progresses faster than the left – he can raise his arm up off the arm of his chair and flex his fingers.  He has feeling though out his body and can wiggle his toes a bit.

Jonesy has acquired a standing table, which allows him, with assistance, to get up to a vertical position. Therapists feel this is important to keep his leg muscles from atrophy.
