Nov. 9, 2003 ~ Here is Mike
checking out his website and navigating with the mouse with just a
little help from me. He was trying to read some of his
messages that you've been leaving him on the message board for
himself. This was a very exciting moment for me as you have to
realize that when I created this site, I never thought Mike
would ever be able to actually see it.
Nov. 28 - Dec. 6, 2003 ~ Below you see
Mike and the therapy bunnies. The first is a baby and the
second is his favorite, a big floppy-eared fellow named, "Smoky
Joe." The third picture is of Mike signing his
Christmas cards, next is a picture of Mike and his therapists
working with "Sofie" one of the therapy dogs. Following is a
picture of Mike visiting with a friend and last is his shelf,
decorated for the Holidays!


Dec. 7, 2003 ~ Mike and his Parents enjoy
a visit from Santa!

Dec. 17, 2003 ~ Mike's first outing

Northside Lanes with his parents and therapists.

Dec. 27, 2003 ~ Here is Santa's
helper....Mike the cookie elf...distributing home-baked cookies to
anyone who crossed his path this holiday season. If you
hurry....maybe there will be one left for you! Ha!

Mall... Bridgett & Mike, Melody & Mike, Lena

T-Shirt says: KEEP STARING, I might do a trick.)

Mike & Carol.
Below: Chris and Matt help Mike hook-up his 'new' Sega
Genesis game. And Mike, Mom & Dad work on a puzzle.
Below: I get real excited when I see this picture to the
left. It shows how sometimes now his whole, complete smile can
go all the way across and movement in seemingly 100% of his
face. It's not always that way...but sometimes...
