teamMarius

Sorry I haven't sent you an email sooner. We were out of the hospital for a few days and we've finally gotten back into the swing of things.

Marius is working on sitting up so he will be able to sit on the plane. The physical therapist is also working on having him put a little bit of weight on his feet. It's hard for Marius, but he knows it is for the best. He still has a long way to go, but has made a lot of progress. He loves to play computer games on my laptop or sometimes Elisa even brings in her hand-held Nintendo DS and he goes crazy over it. He has gotten really good at using his little hands to push the control buttons. We have been working on teaching him some English phrases to help him communicate while he is in the U.S. He is very smart and picks them up quickly!

I'm including a picture of us with Marius so you can see who we all are! In the picture (left to right) are: Marius, Me (Melissa), Mindy, Florin, and Elisa. I'm also including a picture that I love of Marius with Marci.

Take care,
Melissa Reber
