Today Nathan and I had a wonderful day. I had a terrible night with fevers and vomiting and thought we were in for a rough day – especially when Denise, the nanny, didn’t come to work. It turned out to be the opposite.
After all of the wonderful support and advice, I felt happier and calmer. Maybe Nathan perceived this? He woke up happy and in a great mood. He did REALLY well in both of his CME sessions and is back on track! Both Ramon and I felt that today was the first day since he got sick that Nathan was back on track and happily working hard. I don’t have a care in the world when I see my son happy and working hard in his therapy. It was almost like he knew I was having a rough time, and he wanted to let me know that I shouldn’t doubt him, that I should have faith in him. If he could speak he would probably say, “Mommy, don’t give up on me!”. Baby, I hear you loud and clear.
I leave you with videos of his sessions today:
Nathan, I am so proud of you!
se ve hermoso!!!!y que alegria que está mas activo y se nota su alegria,trabajó muy bién(me encantó verlo en la tabla sentado y pasar por el cajón) realmente tienes un niño precioso,que linda expreción:mami no te rindas,estoy leyendo un libro que me regaló mi amiga karyn,que precisamente habla de que la vida nos obliga a enfrentar permanentes desafios y de pronto nos fallan las fuerzas,y no sabemos si renunciar,abandonar todo y conformarnos, pero una voz nos dice “no te rindas”….suceda lo que suceda siempre existe una nueva oportunidad y la única consigna válida es no rendirnos.sé que estas orgullocisima de tu hijo y de lo que han logrado juntos,un abrazo y “NO TE RINDAS”.
WOW, Mr. Nathan, What progress!!!!! I’m sitting here with tears of joy running down my face.

I think that 1 reason you may be having trouble seeing the progress that Nathan is making is because you are with him ALL the time. And to you it seems that his progress has stalled or is only very small inchstones. On the other hand, I have only seen Nathan through this wonderful blog. Looking at the videos above especially #’s 2 & 3 and comparing these to videos that you posted when Nathan 1st. started Medek. I can see GREAT progress. I have listened to vieos #4 several times and I swear I heard Mr. Nathan say DaDa! Guess he was wishing that his dada was there to see what a wonderful job he was doing.
Keep up the program, Nathan WILL get to where you would like to see his progress one day soon!
Thanks for sharing the videos. It is great to be a part of this journey with you. I agree with Donna–it is difficult to see progress when you are with someone all the time. Having been around all of Nathan’s life I do see great progress especially in his awareness of those around him and his desire to learn. I hope you are feeling better soon. Thinking of you.
“Adelante p0r los caminos malos, si no hay otros; por los buenos si es posible. Pero adelante, adelante a pesar de todos los obstáculos para lograr el fin.”
Esta es una frase de Charles Dickens, y tiene mucho sentido y verdad, a seguir mirando el camino con fe, optimismo, alegría y trabajo.
Que orgullo ver Nathan en sus videos, estoy muy contenta por ustedes, es un principito con mucha fuerza para salir ADELANTE. Un abrazo grande para ustedes.
BRAVO Nathan!
YAY Nathan!!! You look marvelous!!!! I swear i heard him say mama! Feel better soon my friend.
Nathan being happy and healthy are the most important things. And obviously he’s feeling better and sounds like he’s happy!
