Today my parents and Gabriel came with me to the hospital (yeah). I’m glad because Chris was so absolutely happy to see his son. Gabriel loves when I tell Chris about all the great things he already does (reading and writing little words, being one of the fastest runners in class, being a good helper, etc…) Chris will really listen so attentively and smile smile and smile broadly and happily. Gabriel will not let me say anything negative about him to Chris (i.e. wearing diapers at night, drinking milk from the bottle, etc). Gabriel gets really mad and puts his hands in front of my mouth to shut me up. LOL.
Gabriel off course makes everything so happy. He fed Chris for half of his meal (with my hand guiding his hand off course). He also helped practice the 10 questions put together by the SALT; in which we are supposed to keep track of his answers. I thought Chris got 4/10 correctly. Gabriel thought Chris got 8/10 correctly. We did this twice and I made Gabriel to take notes and also to pose the questions. They are all very simple yes or no questions; i.e. “Do you have children?” “Is your son’s name Gabriel?” “Are you from Australia?”… Gabriel would interpret all of Chris’ faces/ vocalization as yes and scream “See, mamae, he said yes, he said yes!!!” Maybe Gabriel gets it and I do not. Who knows. He is way too adorable and the absolute epicenter of my life.
I guess Chris was good – depending from how you look at it. Chris looks very healthy, alert, happy, and drop dead gorgeous as always and I do not think there are any health issues currently – other than the lack of progress. He got a dentist appointment this past Friday and his teeth are good. Yet, yet… he is how he is, disabled and unable to communicate. I can’t stand this sometimes…
Anyway, wishing a great week and thanks for checking on all of us.

hehe that's cute that gabriel analyzed chris' answers differently. maybe since he's a child, he understands chris' subtle movements better? who knows, but i am happy to hear that you all went to see chris because i know that makes chris happy to see his whole family!!! :)
