Monday morning. As always, (very) late for work again. Our boss called at 11 in the morning to tell me that he would be out of the office by the time that we would be arriving at the office, so he just reminded me to just use mey keys to the house (angel and I both have copies of his house's keys.. ain't that cool? ). But I was still at LB then, still struggling to leave for work, because Sam was still awake and it's just too hard to leave with him not sleeping.
Sam, which grew a lot in one week while I was away, has been making really big progress in his fight against the disease. First, the SMA's progess has actually plateued, which made his neuro think that sam's probably got an atypical Type I or even, type II SMA. In fact Sam's a lot healthier and stronger now than when he was first diagnosed with SMA, which is the exact opposite of what's supposed to happen to children like him who's aflicted with SMA, which makes him really special. Then again, every parent think of their baby as someone special, and I guess that's every parent's right.... ;) Although Sam's weaker than most of other babies his age, if you know how bad his disease is, seeing him being very very active is a very big miracle already. Next, Sam's resistance to pulmonary diseases has been pretty strong, even when he had a very bad case of colds, he has still shown an amazing resistance in keeping his lungs clean. And this weekend granny and mommy han showed their big surprise for me: With assitance to his upper body, Sam's now able to keep his head straight, with only occasional support to his neck. I was just so happy seeing him do that, Having accepted the fact that our son will no longer be able to achieve his physical milestones. It's funny how when things are taken away from you, you learn to appreciate them in a very special way, no matter how little they are.
Skipping the part about getting up late on sunday morning (i was supposed to leave earl for LB), and the Pacquiao boxing match which i watched in the Atrium mall (and finished in the Tritran bus, thanks to Jaemark's heads up on which round Morales will finally go down), that's pretty much how my weekend went, which btw, was reduced to one day, because our project's deadline is getting nearer...
Right now it's 8:30 pm and I'm at my officemate's place in UP Bliss, working (before i started my blogging break) because there was no electricity back in the Office.
back to work...

sam gave the finger? alekos talaga has this way with babies. iba daw kasi amoy nya. hehe! :P
ReplyDeletehopefully iba in a good way yung amoy ko.. hehe :p
ReplyDeleteactually sam gave mark the finger, all i got was a sort of residual finger :p
iba daw kasi amoy nya.
ReplyDeletethat is something that alekos's girls should realize.. hehe
the fist time sam did it of course it was just funny coincidence. But now i'm afraid that he might start noticing how the adults chuckl when he does the thing. hehe.
anyway, playing with his hands (and opening his fingers one by one, as if counting) is one of sam's favorite things to do. that is besides eating anything that gets into this mouth.
may girls ako? bat d ko alam yun??! hehe
ReplyDelete:p :p :p natuwa naman ako dun.
