8/12/08 Marius Has Arrived!
We wanted to update you on the arrival of Marius and some of the things we have been doing and of course the progress on the surgical front!! Let's start out with the arrival! Most of the Team Marius members were at the airport excitedly awaiting the arrival of the three Romanians. We could hardly believe it was actually here! Marius, Teo and Ionut arrived at about 5:30 and were a little overwhelmed and a lot exhausted but they were good sports about our enthusiasm!
8/1/08 MARIUS IS ON HIS WAY!
MARIUS IS COMING!! Marius, and Ionut and Teo will arrive at LAX on August 4th at 3:40 p.m. Team Marius families are going to be there as well as a group of Romanians from the community there in LA where word is spreading about his arrival along with lots of willingness to help. We think that is just terrific that they will have fellow Romanians to help them with their transition and share his culture, traditions, and language. These friends will be a great support in helping Marius adjust to the many changes! The process to get to this point has been long but the miracles myriad!

The last couple of days with Marius have been really good. He is usually in a good mood when we go in to see him and hang out with him. He is quite the little joker and gets a kick out of copying our laughs and any other noise we make. He even tried to scare Ashley today by pretending that he was asleep and then popping up. He is also becoming quite the little winker. Yesterday (March 25th) he would keep tapping my arm and saying Jessica and then just wink at me. He did this several times until he was satisfied. It was so cute. He still loves to watch Tom and Jerry and any other cartoon we bring in. We are so glad that we finally found something that he really enjoys and that holds his attention.
His cousin that is there with him now is great and she is so sweet. We have gone in the last couple of days to find Marius in a new position. We always thought it was the nurses, but really it is Alina. It is so good for him to move and such a comfort to know that Alina is taking such good care of him. He was in some pain today, but he seemed to snap out of pretty quickly and go back to laughing at Robin Hood. He is definitely a trooper and we love him!

Marius has made a lot of progression in his exercises and movement. He can sit up for short amounts of time with no problems and can get into and out of a wheelchair with only a little bit of help. He loves to be pushed up and down the hallway outside his room.
We have a new game we play where we pretend a balloon is a bomb and we throw it at each other. I know it sounds silly, but he loves it. His burns are looking better every day. His beautiful blue eyes and big smile always brighten up my day!

Sorry I haven't sent you an email sooner. We were out of the hospital for a few days and we've finally gotten back into the swing of things.
