I have seen his smile

I just wanted to post another update on how Mateo is doing. My mother in law sent out an email to friends and family giving an update about Mateo and for those of you who may have received the email I want you to know what is going on with Mateo today so far. For those of you who did not receive the email, you may also want to know how he is doing. Mateo is finally able to smile and is using that smile more often. On Tuesday while my mom was here was his first smile. Then yesterday while he was at Occupacional Therapy he smiled again! It has brightened my days as it has become more tiresome to have been here for a week and a half now and still not know when we are going home. Mateo has also enjoyed playing with cars, playdough and having lots of books read to him. Mateo's kidneys had been suffereing the last few days from receiving too much of one of the anitbiotics, however they had temporatily stopped the medicine but after more monitoring, the kidneys are doing better and his levels of antibiotics are going down, so we will restart the medication today. This morning we have started out with less pain and more cheerfullness. Mateo is currently watching Super Why. We are looking forward to having a good day. Mateo will be going to Occupational therapy today and will be evaluated for Physical Therapy. I look forward to seeing Mateo be able to regain more muscle control. He is doing great walking to the bathroom and has also enjoyed several wheelchair rides. Since yesterday was not one of our better we will re retesting his hearing to make sure that has not been affected. His eyes are doing better and I am hoping that maybe the head pain will go down as well as the nausea. I am also excited because Mateo wanted to get dressed today, although it is only pajamas, it is more progress. Again, thank you for the friends and family especailly those so far away that have been such a great support to our family in this time of need.
