Matts coming home today!!! He's getting released this afternoon! Thank you God! Five months and he's finally coming home! I can't even begin to express how I feel right now. Someone pinch me because it doesn't feel real!
I really want to share with you something that his mom, dad and I all got to witness last night. I started noticing a few days ago that matt has become really aware to touch and feeling. So I was touching his fingers and workinging his fingers when he started doing the same thing. He was mimicing me and what I was doing. So I then touched his hand and told him that was his hand and to touch his hand. He did. I then touched his wrist and arm and told him to touch his arm. He did that. I touched his chest and rubbed his chest, told him to do that as well. And he did! I told him to touch his neck and face and he did that as well. When he went to touch his face he pulled his head off the bed to reach for his hand. I also moved my fingers in front of him and told him to look at his hand and move his fingers, he did. I told him to move his move his mouth and use his words. I moved my mouth and pointed to my lips for him to concentrate on them. He did this as well. Not words but he was moving his mouth. He was trying. Is that not the most amazing thing?! I wanted to just squeeze him and yell! I am so proud of him! He really didn't have that much of a delay either.
Later that night I tried the touching thing again. I asked him to touch my lips and feel them move as I talked. He brought his finger up to my lips and touched my mouth. I asked him to touch my face, he moved his fingers to my face. It was amazing! It was an answer to five months of prayers! Last but not least I ask him to point at me if I loved him. I said do I love you, who loves you, point at me if you know I love you. He opened his fingers and points his index finger at me!
I don't even know if I can ever put into words how I felt last night. What he did was something that a lot of people tbought he would never ever do again. But he has done it! He's coming back to us. He's really going to come back to us. I never thought I would be so satisfied with just this but I am! Because its matts personality coming out. Its him. And now he's coming home. :)
