Update - 3/2/06
Yesterday Matthew communicated with new signals - he nodded his head a bit for yes, and turned his head back and forth a bit for no. He also made a sound that sounded like "uh-huh"!
Missouri weather was so beautiful yesterday and Matthew got to enjoy it! Brenda took him outside in the wheelchair and she said Matthew was so peaceful and enjoyed it immensely.
More good news - Matthew doesn't have the flu anymore!!!
Unfortunately, I do have some news that isn't so positive. Sometimes when a person is in a condition like Matthew where the muscles aren't active, old injuries can "rear their heads". Matthew had an injury to his knee while playing sports some time ago. Yesterday, his knee cap went out - went completely to the side. It was extremely painful for Matthew - he went "white as a sheet" and if he could yell, he would have. He is now wearing a brace for that knee to support the muscles and keep things intact.

If the family is aware of any fundraisers soon or in the future, would you please post them here so that if anyone desires to support the family in this manner we will have the info?
