June Update
Hello Family and Friends,
First of all, we would like to say “Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you to those of you that supported the 5K Walk, Run, or Roll for the B.I.A.U Association and
running for Jessic. It was so much fun! Something accomplished we thought we never could. It was so very touching to be with all of you and feel your love and support !
What a fun way to celebrate Jessica’s 23rd birthday! By the way, Jess walked with her dad, arm in arm 1 1/2 miles. Wow!! You are totally awesome Jess. I know that was
very challenging thing to do. WAY TO GO GIRL!
We are all sill working very hard on all the walking stuff. Yes, it’s discouraging at times, but we keep plugging away. Actually we are going to LaJolla California in June for a
week. We have been told about a place called the Nevro-Ifrah Functional Rehabilitation and Habilitation organization. Jess will be having 6 hours of physical therapy a day for a week.
3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening. This will indeed be a challenge for Jess but we feel it will be an opportunityfor Jess that may help change her life for the better.
We are also looking forward to some vacationing time inbetween the beach, shopping, and Sea World!
Jessica still has a job and enjoys her time there. She diligently works out at the gym with her trainer and that is paying off well. She is so strong and healthy! Her sense of humor is
so in tact and she is a crack up and keeps us all laughing. She would love to have her drivers liscense and be able to get around by herself. She is getting closer to that all in time.
I don’t know if her reaction time would be fast enough yet.
We are slowly trying to get back to normal (whatever that may be?) looking into some new therapies in the fall. I think summer will be very low key and take a rest for a while.
Jess gets lonely and would love to have more association with people her age. I tell her that will come in time naturally. Hang in there Jess–you are so strong!
We have new pictures in the photo gallery. Some back to Halloween and currently at the race. Thanks to all again for checking on Jessica’s progress.
Love to all-
The Krehbiels–dedicated always to Jessica’s recovery

Thank God every morning when you wake up there is work to be done.
Being compelled to work brings diligence, temperance, self respect, and a thousand other
virtues the idle mind will never know.
