best day ever! August 30th, 2008

Today matt had his first visit from his therapists that his parents hired outside of his insurance. This guy was an answer to all of our prayers!! He is proactive, to the point, hard working, and aggressive. Everything that Matt needs. He stretched out Matt and got him to loosen up. Matt seemed so relieved to have his body stretched out like that. You could just see it on his face. His therapist also buy Matt in shoes and socks and say him up out of bed! To see matt sitting up out of bed with clothes and shoes on was overwhelming. I couldn't help but let my tears stream down my face. I was so happy to see Matt like that. Its Been so long since I've seen him like that. Matt did so well too. He handled all of the things he was having him do. The longer matt was out of bed the more relaxed he became. After he was sitting for a while he lifted Matt up to his feet and had Matt standing! It was just the most wonderful feeling of excitement! He looked so good, he was doing so good. Seeing Matt standing up was all I needed to see and know that Matt is still fighting to get better. I don't even know how to describe everything that happened today. All I know is that I got goose bumps, and a wonderful feeling!
He tolerated so much today and was such a good sport. Next week the therapist will come 3 times a weeks for 2-3 hours a session. This is so encouraging! I can't wait to see what the next couple of weeks will bring us! Matt is on his way to recovery. :)
