Max took 4-5 confident, forward steps today!!! I was in too much shock to even count how many or to get a camera. He just started walking and I stood there, stunned, with my mouth open. I thought that he wouldn't be repeating this trick for a while, but then when I was changing him before bed, he took four steps to the dresser and looked at me like, "what's the big deal, mom?" I was clapping and cheering, but he doesn't seem to be nearly as excited as I am. As soon as I can catch this on video, if he does it again, I'll post it. He also started saying "day," the russian word for "give," pretty regularly to get what he wants. Those are some BIG leaps for my little man.
He weighed 10.37 kgs today at the doctor's office and measured 79 cm. I'm not surprised at all judging by how his appetite increased. Unfortunately though, Max's engraftment from last Friday came back at 23%. Next week we'll have to come back and get IVIG, and the week after we'll get Max some more donor cells. Otherwise, not much to report, thankfully. We're just happy that Max can play in the grass like a normal little boy, just as long as there aren't any other little people around. We thank G-d a lot.
