Update on Mark

November 6th, 2007

Hi everyone! I wanted to update everyone on Mark’s progress.It has been over a month since I checked in.We have been really busy. Good things have been happening for Mark. His speech and language is definitely increasing.It is amazing….he is repeating words and phrases. The extra speech therapy is paying off,6 hours a week. We are seeing other improvements in Mark’s social development. He is playing more appropriately with his toys and he is seeking out other children when we go to the playground and to gymnastics.We still have a long way to go to get Mark where we would like to see him but he is doing so well! He is so happy and good tempered. We have three more months for the stem cells to reach there full potential(it takes 6 months).We are hoping to see more improvement.We will wait and see.We will be back in China in February,I believe if you find something that works then you should go for it.So we are! I’m preparing Mark for China again by showing him pics of our last visit and just telling him our plans.He understands what we say to him. Hopefully this trip will go as smooth as the last one. Sorry if this entry is all over the place,trying to do three different things while typing. If you are a mom reading this then you know what I mean! I will check in later. Happy Holidays to everyone!
