Tonight's picture was taken in August of 2008. Mattie was in his first week or so of treatment. At that point Mattie did not know what he wanted to wear in the hospital. So he stuck with hospital clothes. As Mattie's treatment continued he opted to wear his pajamas. We literally had a ton of pajamas by that point for him to choose from and they had to be button up shirts, because once he had his surgery, he was unable to lift his arms over his head.
In this photo, you see Mattie wearing a model magic mask he created. He did this in the hospital hallway because when we first entered the hospital an in-patient playroom did not exist. Nonetheless, we made the best of it in the hallway, thanks to the child life staff. To this day, I still have this mask on display in our kitchen.

I did not start the day with a headache, but after doing Foundation work today, I have developed a full blown migraine. Which means I am stepping away from the computer for the rest of the day. Until tomorrow.

Vicki,
I am so sorry about your migraine. Hoping you are sleeping and will wake up feeling better. I know I wondered in the years of my own headaches how I managed to survive. They could be comletely controlling, I am sorry you live with them, constantly!
Mattie's mask is very creative, the coloring & feathers add a lot. I love model magic because it is so pliable but dries nicely.
Mattie's smile always touches my heart❤️
