7/6/10 - Day 64

Hi All...I know I'm late...I'm sorry.

I have to say there has been little change since last week. Steven is doing great. He's starting to go out a little more each week. We went to the mall on Saturday to see Cindy while she was working. He insisted on buying her a flower before we went. Very sweet.

I have to say...most days he is very sweet. He does have some mood swings, which is normal...but most of the time he is a pleasure to be around. He laughs and makes jokes...it's is just soooo great. I can't even explain it.

He is still going to therapy every week. He wasn't very cooperative this week to get his homework done. I told him he had to finish it up today before he goes back to therapy tomorrow. He was diligent in getting it done. I was very surprised! Not once did he say "I can't" or "I'll never finish it"...He sat at the table and got it done. It took him about 3 different session to finish it...but he did all of them except for one. He said, I'll finish it in the morning before therapy. My guess is, he'll get it done.

We had the family over on the 4th of July for backyard fireworks...It was probably the best 4th of July ever. Patrick's father, Steven and the rest of the family, all in one place for a great night. Could not ask for anything more.

We are blessed...every one of us. I thank God everyday that Steven is a miracle.

Thanks for all the prayers...love you all <3
