IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE I POSTED HOW I AM PHYSICALLY DOING. THERE'S BEEN NO SPECTACULAR THINGS, LIKE WALKING, BUT MY SISTER WHO ONLY SEES ME OCCASSIONALLY, AS WELL AS FRIENDS AT CHURCH & MY MUSIC THERAPIST, WHO C ME WEEKLY, C CHANGES. —THINGS LIKE “I JUST LOOK BETTER” (I’M GUESSING MORE TONE), I RAISE MY ARM HIGHER & I SEEM STRONGER, & I BREATHE BETTER & AM MORE VOCAL. WED., IN MUSIC THERAPY, I WAS ASKED A QUES., & ANSWERED "I DON'T KNOW" ("I O U") AS I SHRUGGED. I ACTUALLY SAY SEVERAL THINGS NOW, (LIKE “I DON’T KNOW.” W/ONLY VOWELS), ONLY IT JUST “POPS OUT” ON OCCASION, AS I SIGN IT. I CAN'T ALWAYS DO IT ON COMMANDD—I SEEM 2 "FREEZE UP."MY MOST COMMON 1S R "HI" ("I"), "BYE" ("IE"), “I LOVE U” (“I O U”), “YES” (“YEA”—LOVE THIS 1 BECAUSE I CAN ANSWER A QUES. IF A BACK IS 2 ME, O THEY R IN THE NEXT ROOM), & “THANK U” (“A U”). IN MUSIC THERAPY, I HELP SING "OLD MCDONALD" ("EIEIO" & "MOO"). LIKE MOST PARENTS WHO UNDERSTAND THEIR CHILD & OTHERS DON'T UNDERSTAND THE CHILD, MARK OFTEN UNDERSTANDS ME.
