Merry Christmas Happy New Year and so on......:)

Boy the holidays have passed so fast and it is hard to believe that we are off to a new year already. But with the New Year bring lots of changes and hopefully much more progress for Makhi. I am so happy to report that Makhi is still continuing to make Hugh strides in school. In Sept member of last year when he started school he was unable to recognize any letter or numbers and was unable to write his name. Well within 4 months of school he is now able to recognize all his letters and numbers and can write his name. He is even starting to read. My boy NEVER fails to amaze me. He has some GREAT teacher who are wonderful with him also. Makhi has also made allot of gains in his social skills making many new friends and he even has himself a little girlfriend LOL :) Not only his he a smart little man he is really handsome to :)

We are off the predisone at this point and still continuing with the Metotraxate once a week. The Metoraxate still continues to make his sick to his stomach for about 2 days after he takes it:(.

Makhi is looking forward to spring so that he can start playing baseball. He has never played but he wants to take another sport up so we will have to see how this goes. He really loved football and I can't wait for him to play that again.

I would ask everyone to keep praying for all the children who still continue to struggle with OMS and also to sign a petition to make January 6th OMS Awareness Day! You can do this by going to http://apps.facebook.com/petitions/1/OMS-AWARENESS-DAY/
you not alone can sign this petition by you can share you story about your OMS child or you experience with a OMS child.

Thank you for checking in and please take the time to sign this petition. Helps us put this rare disease on the map.
