Well its a new month and of course with a new month Matt has to give us something new like always. Tonight I was just talking to Matt while he was sitting in his chair in the dining room, he did something that I just can't even remember and I said "cool Matt, give me a high five." not even thinking he would do it but I just said it and put my hand up. Well to all of our surprise Matt brought his hand up and gave me a high five!!! Praise God right!? It was crazy! I totally had to do a double take! Never did I think he would do it, or even that fast. It was amazing! Couldn't believe my eyes. But even better I did it again and again and again and he still continued to do it! It just stayed in his brain and he continued to remember what he was doing! Thats huge!
Its the little things, he pays so much attention to things we say and do. He files it away and remembers it later. This is another great step in his recovery process! We all just have to keep giving him stimulation and confidence that he can do this!
Everyday he seems to be more alert and focused. You see it when you talk to him. He just intently listens. If you say a joke or laugh you'll sometimes see him give a half smile. Its really neat to see. Everyday is one step closer. Especially with this new therapist. I am so excited to see what he£ll do next with him. Ive seen a huge difference in Matt since his therapist worked with him! This is what Matt needed a long time ago, but everyone in the hospital kept saying he wasn't ready. Well guess what? He was and still is ready! I said a long time ago he was going to be everyones living beathing miracle, and he will prove all those medical books wrong. Well watch out! Like his dad said tonight, Matt always wanted to be Superman when he was younger...I think Matt is going to get his chance. : )
