New toy



Early intervention brought Matthew some new toys. They are all activated by switch so Matthew can learn to control of his toys and cause and effect. This little toy below is a toy that normally hangs on a crib. It has a monkey and other jungle animals that move and it plays music and has lights. These type of crib toys are Matthew's favorite. Look at him studying this intensely.

The purple button is the switch that makes it turn off and on. He is starting to get the hang of it. We are playing with it everyday.

See how much he loves it?


****Matthew is currently in MRI as I am typing this; he having an MRI of his spine. Matthew has been having issues lately with urine retention, constipation and can be common for kiddos with neuro problems to have a tethered spinal cord. This is what they are looking for...we are actually hoping they find something because it will hopefully alleviate some of the issues he is having****

Wow! He looks really good sitting and looking! Glad to read he is learning to hit the switch.

I already read where he has a tethered cord. He will remain in my prayers but I expect a good outcome from the surgery. Thank goodness for good diagnostics.
