Jess is 33-years-old, autistic, and blind. Her favorite topics of conversation include getting a new dog, her friend Keely, her Aunt Sue, and cousin Donna. Jess collects CD’s of children’s music, cards, coloring books, and has a small collection of used up disposable cameras that she refuses to get developed. Favorite health foods include chicken and rice, chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, chicken biscuits, pepperoni pizza, and hash brown potatoes. Jess has naturally curly hair that she would rather not ever comb, brush, or cut.
Jessica’s multiple disabilities stem from brain damage that occurred in-utero, and from hydrocephalus. In addition to autism and blindness, Jess also has minor fine motor and gross motor deficits. Hannah is Jessica's sister, and Marlow is Jessica's paid support staff (and Hannah's best friend.)

Val, as a special education teacher and administrator for over 35 years, that was an amazing presentation. Thanks for sharing and it was easy to understand for followers. Keep up the good work !
Thank you!!
She is so lucky to have you and the family that loves her so much
Val, I can’t praise you enough. You are a strong woman, and a terrific mother. You are a beautiful person with a beautiful family and a beautiful home. You have a love for animals which I also admire you for. Please keep doing what you’re doing, but always remember to take care of your yourself! I love watching your vlogs, alives & reading your blogs. Looking forward to one day becoming a Crispy too! ❤️
Thank you so much! 💗💗💗
Ditto!
Couldn’t agree more ♥️
Being someone who has worked with people with special needs for 34 years, Jess is amazing, you have done an beautiful job with her. Jess is blessed to have you, and you have been so giving of information to those who haven't lived this. Blessings to you and your wonderful and caring family.
We are so blessed to have RUclips to help others going through similar diagnosis struggles to help Parents learn about the challenges and diagnosis pathways .
Yes, I agree. I wish so much I had a resource like this when Jess was young.
Thank you Val for telling us all about Jess. With all the disabilities Jess has she does fantastic mainly because of the support from you and your family who have dedicated your lives to Jess. A lot of people don’t understand how to talk and also listen to people with disabilities no matter what they are. You are doing a fantastic job in educating these people if they are willing to listen and watch your videos. Thank you from somebody who does understand and does listen and has worked with students with multiple disabilities. Sending all my love from Manchester England. ❤️xx

I found your descriptions of Jessica's multiple disabilities very illuminating. I understand some of the frustrations. My youngest child is 51 years old, full autism syndrome, mental age of 2 yrs 9 mos, non verbal. He lives at home. So we have a 51 yr old toddler with all the problems that come with a two yr old .Fortunately other than type 2 diabetes, he doesn't have multiple disabilities. I understand the frustrations with the system being complicated by her multiple disabilities. I have only recently found your site. I noticed you had the question of why didn't you put her into a group home, but she is your daughter and I am sure you want to protect her, we have always kept our son with us.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
I have a cousin that turn 77. She had water on her brain from samething. She handicap w age of 5. But she amazing and goes with our whole family never excluded and we love her
I never knew the depths of my sister's struggles until she passed in April and left behind a disabled adult child. I finally started opening her mail and found a letter that lists my nephews dx's. He too has multiple (5) on top of him being nonverbal. It does help me understand his condition better and why she maybe didn't feel comfortable sharing them all with us. He has to have 24 hrs care, so he lives where that is possible and still close enough for family to visit. I'm new to this and glad I found this video. Thank you for sharing.
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️ thank you for sharing
Hi Val when I was three years old I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy my mom has special teachers for me speech therapy who went to the Orthopedic Hospital once a month or every week so I can learn how to walk I had braces put on me I would Oxford I was born cry cited when I was 18 operation and the doctor said it might fail because one of my eyes was weaker than the other and I were classes my mother died in 2005 I live with her we took care of each other I took care of my mom even though I had a disability I took care of her until she died and I couldn't take care of her anymore my mother was worried who was going to take care of me my mom gave me so much Independence that I told her not to worry God will take care of me I have brothers and sisters they had thrown life when my mom died I still with the appointment and I paid my rent my pack groceries I know how to drive she let me do everything as a normal person I thank God for that my mom was a great mom when I had trouble in school let her special teachers that would help me and make sure I had everything I need it so I know that I can do things on my own home rent I pay my bills and one thing I know that God Is Watching Over Me
Sounds like you had a wonderful mom that prepared you for independent life. ❤️
I’m watching this video because I just watched the video about Jess not saying thank you. It really hurts my heart that people say mean things to your family. I don’t understand why people are concerned with her not saying thank you. Why do people have to question a disabled girl. This is a channel about education, and about an awesome autistic girl. It’s pretty obvious she needs prompts. They are probably trolls bored out of their mind. Val keep being exactly who you are. I hope to be just like you when I grow up 😉♥️
Thank you! ❤️
I want you to write a book !! I stumbled across you and Jessica on social media last year. I’m a Child Care Health Consultant Nurse and I admire you for sharing her story. I always think “what is Valerie’s story and how did it change the course of your life and you are such a great mom. There are so many factors to consider and with all of the different professionals being involved, it took you and your persistence to get all of the multiple diagnoses and then work to provide everything Jessica needs to learn and communicate. It’s really amazing :)
I would totally read your book Val. Your point of view, your struggles, your heart and your story. I’m captivated with every video and every little thing. I believe it’s bc of the love and compassion that has clearly been a life time of giving from you and your tribe. Jess exudes that love too. ❤️
Thank you so much. I do hope to find time to write a book. It’s on my to do/wish list. 💗
I hope to eventually!
@@SunShine-qj7xj ditto!
Thank you for this Val. I totally get what you are dealing with on a daily basis. I myself have low vision and my Aunt had Retina Pigmrntosa. My good friend is blind.
I know some people with Hydrocephalus and Cerebral Palsy and I am an Autism Awareness Advocate.
You are blessed! Jessica is such an amazing person and I'm so humbled to follow your journey and support you.
I will always be all of your Friends. Jessica has come a long way!
Thank you so much!
I am so grateful that you have chosen to share your family's journey with me.
People who have personally experienced these triumphs and challenges are the best teachers.
♥️
I was curious about age of diagnosis and symptoms that presented at specific ages. I’ve worked at a home and program site for people with cognitive and physical disabilities so I appreciate learning about specifics. I never thought twice about Jessica utilizing a wheelchair in certain environments, it makes perfect sense. I can’t even explain to you how much I look forward to your videos. It makes me want to get back into working with people with developmental and physical disabilities.
What a wonderful reaction!
As Jessica would say...you’re a good one
I just saw your video, where you talked about multiple disabilities. I’ve been following you for a while and I totally understood everything you said when you talked about it, I said to myself I saw that. I wonder if it’s this I wonder if it’s that everything you said I saw it. It could be because I am a retired educator in elementary school. We had a lot of children come through our school we didn’t have blind children. They went to a special school, and we did have children that were in wheelchairs with hydrocephalic. You are doing an amazing Job. I love the way she loves cards. Oh my gosh she loves cards. I can’t imagine how many decks of cards that girl has. I’ve watched her go in her bedroom and put them on her bed and open them up and smell them. I love it I love your family. You are amazing and don’t let anybody tell you different girl. I love how she always kinda talks into just maybe one more chicken nugget maybe six I love it. Typical you know that’s it that’s it that’s a typical person. Just one more are you sure have a blessed day the rest of your starting of this new week in November. I hope your weather is cool down. I know ours has here in Mississippi.
Thank you Val for all your contribution educating us. We love Jess so much and we are so lucky to have her ♥️♥️ She’s such a good one ♥️♥️
❤️❤️
Thank you for helping others. My son is 30 with multiple disabilities. It's soooo hard! My son has many diagnoses, and I believe he is autistic, but never that diagnosis. He is deaf and has been since birth. Our babies with multiple disabilities are certainly a handful, but I wouldn't change a thing.
💯 agree! ♥️
Hello Good Ones, Hello Jessica from South Australia/ Australia.
I’ve just started watching all your videos, I’m enjoying them so much.
My 2nd eldest 8 yr old grandson. He has a lot of medical conditions, he is autistic, and has ADHC MICRO DELETION, apparently there’s only 5, in either, the world or Australia, so any treatment is trial and error.
But I’m learning a lot from your videos, for when he’s older, and somethings that I’m already using for him. He has 3 (1 older 2 younger) brothers, and 2 sisters, (younger).
They all love each other and show affection, hugging and kissing each other, the ages are, 2,4,5,6,8,and 10 years old, their mother and father (my son) are only 27, and as he grows stronger, it’s a struggle when he has big feelings, he parrots, and lots of other things. He knows his pro noun’s, finally clicked in last 6 months.
He loves his siblings, sometimes a little too hard, and too often for them, and he can’t understand why? When he meets new people and learns new names, he will ask them what their names is? Then say hello every times he sees them while they’re there, fixating on that person/s.
I would really like to get in contact with you, because we’re in over our heads. I think maybe you all should write a book?
He has an SSO at school, who just works with him. But would like picking your brain.
Be well, and safe, and warm over the Xmas break.
Rebecca
Hi Rebecca. Contact me via email val @ autisticinterpretationsdotcom.
I have been watching ya'll for a while, and I am SO impressed by you, and your whole support group. Jessica is such a miracle in the fact that she is as independent as she is. And, as a mother myself, the stress of this has to be enormous. You have such grace, and that is a wonderful thing.
Thanks for sharing more details on Jess’s disabilities. I did not know some of them and it really does help me understand her more. She’s such a smart spitfire despite her daily challenges. She has a great support system
Thank you!
Hi Val, you are such a strong woman! I must say that you have given me insight on life. I dont have a disabled child, but you give me much inspiration on life and the preciousness of all the love and support you and the girls give everyday. I watch your channel because you help me in every day life of being thorough on conditions and dealing with day to day situations even outside of having a child with disabilities. I watch your channel always due to the fact that I thrive on your strength, knowledge, kindness and real facts of everyday life and I just want to thank you !
Thank you!
Thank you very much I joined you about 7 months ago and have been wondering all of her disability as I do work in this world. I prefer this style of video and her day-to-day videos more than her fan mail. I do love that you are starting to give her some more boundaries in her fan mail more often now as she seems to get so out of control excited and needs to take a minute timeout just to take a breath and then start again so she can enjoy it all over again.
Just wanted to say how much I love finding your channel and that you're sharing Jessica’s and your story. As a multiply disabled woman about two years younger than Jessica who still lives with my mom, I can relate to a lot of what she and you both have been through and how she acts. In some ways we’re very different, but in others, we're so alike. I'm totally blind, autistic, and have a long list of chronic illnesses. If I were to write every diagnosis down, there would be 15-20 of them. They cause chronic pain, fatigue, sensory processing issues, memory loss, and anxiety. I started watching your channel since it shows someone I can relate to, another multiply disabled adult in a similar situation to mine. There’s very little support out there for adults with multiple disabilities, so it's rare to find anyone with a story similar to mine.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Thank You Val.
Val you have done so much for getting Jessica the right diagnosis. I was born with CP and it took a long time for my perants to get help. I went to a special school and when I was 17 I learnt to drive. I got a job. I got married when I was 20. I then started the journey to have a family. After 3 still births and 6 miscarriage I had my son. He is now in his 40 and I have 2 beautiful grandchildren. A girl and a boy. I think you are fantastic Val and you remind me of how my mother and father had to fight for me. Sending my love to you all. Xx
thank you for sharing we see she has a great support group prayers for all of you
I just love how open and gracious you are in trying to educate and open our eyes to why Jess and others like her are (yes they have a diagnosis or multiple diagnosis') but,.... that there is so much more to her than just that diagnosis. It's helped me to learn to stop and "notice" if maybe there's a reason someone may be reacting, or not reacting or exhibiting a behavior I may not understand but need to learn so I know how to react and respond to them. I think sometimes it's easy for us to rush by the Jessica's of this world and that's not right. She doesn't deserve that, she deserves for us to stop, to notice, to listen and to learn how to communicate with her on her terms. And that's just how it is and should be.
That's just my humble opinion but, Val you've helped me to learn that and I'm a much more patient and hopefully a better advocate now because of it. I've actually watched your videos for about a year now (without being subscribed. I know, I was stupid 😊. I am sub now. Anyway.....) I just normally don't comment much on social media but, you've done the almost impossible..... you opened my heart a little too your family and you gotta talk to family somehow, right? 😊
Anyway..... sending love and hugs to you, Jess, Hannah, Marlow and I suppose Baddaddy too 😉
Thank you so much!
I love that you do this. I do not have a disabled child but this helps us all. Understanding is key! I thank you for it❤
So glad you did this video to educate all of us on the issues that Jess, and yourself, deal with. What an incredible and awesome job you have done with Jess. She is such a delightful gal and I enjoy every one of your videos. You are incredible Val! Jess is so lucky to have you and your family supporting and encouraging her every day! Thank you so much for sharing your family with us! 😘
💗
She, Jess, is beautiful, smart, and ❣ has a giving heart. You all are very special people, we need more like you in the world. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you were the chosen mother to jess you are so very awesome
I am very late to your videos. I love seeing beautiful Jessica and I am amazed at her brillance!! I believe that you, her family, have brought her this far and are giving her the best life. Thank you for educating me. The videos are so helpful. One question I have is about Hannah...she is so good with Jess. Does she have a career outside the home? I may have missed something about that. Thank yyou!
What an amazing parent you are! Don’t even give a second thought to the people who ask “ridiculous & un-thought through questions! “
Sweet Val please don’t let those who must always proclaim their expertise in all things and feel their right to ask judgmental questions burden your heart. Some will simply ask out of curiosity and some will just be catty. I want you to know that you and the family are amazing. I so love your videos and am grateful for your sharing with us. I’ve learned so much and I appreciate all you do.
Life is challenging but can be very awarding.
Much respect, Mom, for your selfless, unconditional love! 🤗
You are a very strong, intelligent and loving mother❤ You're whole family is such a blessing to Jess and she a blessing to you. Very informative video, hopefully this will stop some negative comments that come your way. Bless you and your family❤
I'm happy Jessica has a mother like u. We're kids and adults has special needs has a special place in my heart
Such a helpful video Val.i hope professionals take time to watch it too. Autism is so complex and individual making it a very misunderstood disability and a battle for getting specific services. To each persons needs. Education on the subject is so helpful. X
❤️
It’s a shame it takes so long to get a child the correct diagnosis and it breaks my heart for the kids that don’t have any one to fight the system for them, thank God Jess has you❤️ Jess does great for ALL she’s been through🌹
Val thank you sharing your journey and your beautiful family I to have right sided cp as well as multiple disabilities and I can only see light in my right eye and have mild seizures and Jess is such a inspiration and I so love watching Jess and how much she and all your beautiful family every day thank you so much for helping others understand love you all xxx
Jessica is so lucky to have an amazing mother like you. She is a strong and beautiful girl inside and out. God made her special just the way she is. My boyfriend is autistic and I know it can be very hard sometimes. You have a beautiful daughter.
Thanks for explaining this it helps us to better understand what is going on with Jessica
Jessica is so fortunate in having you taking care of her. I have a cousin with CP and he is wheelchair bound but otherwise normal per set. Thank you Valerie for going into detail about Jessica 's dx. You are a wonderful mom. God Bless❤❤❤❤
❤️
This was so helpful, and very kind of you to record this video
FT...... after taken herbs from Drdodoyi i was perfectly cured, thank you..
Val, thanks for sharing. I, too, have multiple disabilities that went relatively unnoticed from birth to my early to mid 20s. I have mild spastic CP, dysnomia (type of dyslexia), executive functioning issues and mild gross and fine motor delays.I’m grateful to a high school English teacher for starting the ball rolling on the learning disability.
I also wonder, you’ve seen so many posts by me now, what type of seizures Jess has. I believe I saw in a “bideo” or a blog that you stated they were almost imperceptible. Are they focal seizures or staring seizures?
Thank you so much for sharing about Jess. You are doing such a service to others by sharing about Jess with her visible and not so visible disabilities. Jess is truly blessed to have you and #baddaddy as parents and Hannah and Madison as amazing children. Your whole family’s love for Jess is so beautiful.
Jess has Absence & Focal Seizures.
@@AutisticInterpretations Thanks for clearing that up. That's what I suspected. Thank you for responding.
I can completely relate, Val. I've given up trying to get help. I have multiple diagnoses, too, and have never been taken seriously, or given any long term help. I've just been dumped by all services, and have zero help. It's appalling.
It all comes down to funding, here in England, and it's cheaper to ignore people than provide them with the help they need.
I have been left unable to work, and the government here, makes disabled people have to prove that they're ill, every two years, which is ridiculous if you have lifelong debilitating illnesses. If the assessors (not medically qualified), believe you're fit for work, then you lose your disability benefits, and are expected to start looking for work. It's an atrocious, cruel system, put in place by our Conservative government. 😠
I'm just waiting for my turn to be told I have to go back to work, now, and that's after a massive nervous breakdown that I've never recovered from, plus all my lifeong, chronic conditions. 😢 Jess is blessed to have the family she does, and you're an amazing mother. You really are.
Sending my love to you all from Sheffield, England. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I appreciate you sharing the information about her disabilities. It’s so much beyond the surface, as we’ve experienced with my cousin whom is autistic with other disabilities as well. I love watching how she articulates her words and expresses herself. She is a very bright beautiful young lady.
Thank you so much for sharing with us Val...Jess & you are Awesome!
This video explains so much! Thank you for sharing!
Thankyou for sharing Val very informative and a great insight to Jess as an individual and a very beautiful soul inside and out.💗
💗
Thank you so much for sharing Jess’ story. I love to see how you and the whole family interact with her. The love you all share is obvious. God bless you all!
I don’t know how to thank you for sharing your lives. My daughter is only 10 but you are describing our life almost exactly. She Needs prompts abs multiple prompts for every task, I’d too having spent years trying to get that autism diagnosis because people in field attributing abnormalities to her blindness, the echolalia and parroting when she was younger, the pronoun confusion. All of this! We don’t know what the future looks like for her but this is very therapeutic for me to not feel so alone and also trying to learn from you what might be out there for us. The way that you worded in one of your videos how people can sometimes get distracted Watching her but not really seeing the disabilities like we see them. I get so tired of people making light of things that our life altering for her and for us just because My daughter is adorable and funny. These are the only words I can muster up right now. I’ve often tried to explain so much of what you are going to detail about on your videos but I just don’t have the words or the strength. So I so appreciate you speaking for so many of us who haven’t or can’t yet for whatever reason. I’m sharing this on my feed because people just don’t get it and it isolates us even more emotionally and mentally
*and not abs
❤️
I have very high myopia(legally blind 250/20), nystagmus, astigmatism, autism, ocd, ptsd, severe anxiety, depression, borderline personality, non epileptic seizures, a bunch of allergies, asthma and currently looking at mild CP diagnosis.
Thank you Valerie for being so open! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Very enlightening. Thank you for sharing. Jess is a very special young lady.
Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you for sharing Val.
Val thank you for sharing all this with us. It makes us understanding of all things that goings on with your beautiful daughter Jess. Yiu are the best loving mom.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing.
Hello! I am a single mom with a 2 year old with special needs. And I am right there in the middle climbing the ladder of diagnosis and assessments. It was so good to hear this story of what the beginning was like! Knowing that I am not alone. We are starting preschool next year. Could you do a video on what it was like starting school and what elementary school was like for her?
Yes, I’m soon going to start a series where I go through telling about her educational years. ❤️
Jessica is an amazing woman. She has a wonderful loving support system surrounding her.
I love the little icon u are using!! Also I am a recovering from 9 Vp shut surgeries 2 of those to VP’s shut removable was to remove the vp shut and put in a VA shut
Thank you for sharing with us God Bless you all always I was born with Spina Bifida and I also have hydrocephalus I have a VP shunt in my head it's on my right side I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia
Thanks for sharing all of this. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about disabilities and the individuals I serve everyday. 💙
You’re amazing to talk about this how you do. What a lot of things to have to learn and cope with xx much love to you all
Disney- yes! My daughter is blind autistic with endocrine abnormalities. I want often to get her wheelchair for long days out in crowds but people don’t understand me. Thank you 😭
It baffles my mind that we are in such a culture of trying to understand educate except whatever and yet there’s so little understanding and tolerance for what we need for our daughter. people send me things that blind people are doing. Blindness is the least of her issues. I wish you lived next-door to me I wanna be best friends lol I send that lol through tears please know. I found you it’s such a weary time in my life in all areas and you’re helping me not feel so alone thank you
It was hard even for the people closest to us to grasp the magnitude of Jessica’s combined disabilities as well as our everyday challenges. It’s one of the reasons I started blogging. I’m glad our videos are helping you feel less alone. That’s so important. Being alone in this is just awful.
Thank you for sharing. You’re an amazing mom. ☺️❤️
Thank you for sharing🌷
Bless your heart! You seem to be a amazing mother for her! We need more people on earth like you !
Thank you 💕
I feel Jess does great considering her diagnosis.
Val your the best Mom.
I love how your whole family is involved in her daily life. Bad Daddy, Nonnie, Granddad, Hannah, Marlow, and Madison.
Keep the videos coming . They brighten my day.
💙😃
I love the education you have taught me.
Thank you! 💙
I really found this video very informative. I think Jess and her support systems are incredible. Thank you.
Thank you Miss Val for sharing Miss Jesses diagnoses with all of us who adore you & your family.
✨💜✨💜✨💜✨
Thank you also for educating us. As my Mother use to say: Knowledge is everything, but “ignorance is bliss”
We all need to be educated on a persons wants & needs b4 making remarks as to y Miss Jess needs her wheelchair 🙏🏻🌷
You are an awesome person mother wife caregiver.I have three autistic children in my family all boys..Your patience is second to none I feel proud watching you all and am inspired by your content to do and be better xxx
Thanks for sharing, very educational. You are a fighter and strong woman Val. My career was in healthcare and I could listen all day. Also, it makes TOTAL sense that Jess uses a wheelchair at Disney. Sending love and light.
You are all amazing people xx
Multiple disabilities, different abilities. Seeing the love that surrounds Jess is beautiful. I myself have disabilities and watching you all brings smiles to my face, even on rough days, I feel less alone!
I'm so pleased you are explaining what a VP shunt is . I have one and sometimes struggle to get doctors to understand them
Thank you 😊 xxx
Val you are one Excellent mother to jess. I love you so so much. And absolutely can't get enough of your videos you all are awesome.but i think it's ashame that people are so rude and & nosey sometimes you shouldn't have to explain Jessica's disabilities if you don't want to i just don't understand people these days. But on a good note you are an Amazing mother so much Love to you all 💜💛💜
As a teacher, I have loved learning so much from you. Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️
I love how you always explain everything. I love to learn about Jessica’s disabilities. I love to be more aware in public when seeing or encountering people with those same disabilities. It helps me to understand behaviors, personalities etc.. I don’t have children with disabilities, I just love to learn. Someday I would love to be an ABA therapist. Jess is amazing and I love watching your family so much ♥️
thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm so sorry you all have had to go through this. thank you for such a wonderful explanation of Jess and her disabilities. excellent. ps you are doing an amazing job! p.s.s your home is gorgeous!

FT...... after taken herbs from Drdodoyi i was perfectly cured, thank you..
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful daughter with us!! I learn so much from watching y’all’s videos!!
I’m so glad!
Val & Jess, thank you so much for sharing your story. I could go on and on about how much you've educated your followers and how much I appreciate it. I am studying to be a developmental service worker (graduating next week!!) and have invisible disabilities as well so I look forward to seeing your video about the wheelchair and people's perception of disability :) much love.
Thank you!
I notice in some of the videos there are three black poodles. Zoe belongs to Jessica and the larger one belongs to Marlow. But who does the other one belong too ??
Thank you for educating us not only on Jessica but also autism. You have really opened my mind and my eyes to what goes on in the life of the family.
With the wealth of knowledge you have , I hope you will consider writing a book.
Zoe belongs to Jess. The biggest one is Daryl and he belongs to Hannah. The third one is Benny and he belongs to Marlow.
You and Jess make my heart melt and every video you post gets me so excited before I even watch it! Love you both so much! 💕
❤️ Thank you!
I went through all that, having Spina Bifida..if you’d ever like to talk, I’m here!!!
Fabulous share. Thank you for taking the time to educate us all more on this topic and Jess specifically. No one ever quite understands what it takes to be a special momma, but you are doing an amazing job allowing others a glimpse into this world.
I had a hard time in the school system as well and I only have a learning disability, I cannot imagine having multiple disabilities you are a strong woman and a great mother. ❤️😎
Val I didn't know Jessica had all those problems. She's a trooper.
She is!
Thank you for this video. Jessica has a great mother. I am fellow individual with multiple diagnoses and I completely understand the hardships related to it. One of which is also hemiplegic CP. My weak side is the left.
♥️
Thank you for sharing this Valerie
You and Jessica rock
