Sunday Morning

I just checked on Marc (10:30 am) and he is sleeping. He got another bath and some meds, so he is a little tuckered out. I wanted to give you more information about Marc's progress last night after Becky left. He is able to screw the cap on and off of his water bottle (the one her stole from Amanda). His right side continues to be the strongest and most coordinated, his left is weak but appears to have gross motor skills. The best example of him getting better was later he wanted to listen to his Ipod. We put it in his alarm clock/speaker system, but couldn't figure out how to make it play. Amanda put it in front of him, he turned it on, went through the menus and scrolled to the song he wanted too hear. If you don't don't know about Ipods, they are tiny music players that require good vision and manual dexterity to operate. To me this was a HUGE sign that he is getting better. Not only can he see and move his fingers in a meaningful way, but he remembered how to run the darn thing. He also knows his family members by sight and name, which is a great source of comfort to us!!!!

Janice, myself, and our family want to thank all who have prayed and kept Marc in their thoughts. We will try to keep you posted as this miracle continues to unfold.
