Tonight's picture was taken in February of 2009. This was classic Mattie.... multi-tasking. Mattie was eating, drinking and building with sticks and his glue gun. Though we were living in a hospital room, there was always creativity coming from Mattie. His creations always filled the room and decorated the walls and ceilings.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 78,929,832
- Number of people who died from the virus: 948,200
I walked 5 miles today while in the house! It is like having a built in exercise routine, with the multitude of tasks that I do each day! I rarely sit still, sometimes I feel frenetic, and of course when and if I do sit down, I can fall asleep.
For the past four days, my lifetime friend (Karen) has been visiting from NYC. This was the first time she saw our house and of course got to see first hand what I am reporting on the blog. It isn't easy being a part of our daily routine, but Karen managed through it and livened up our week.
After Karen left today, I have sat down to process Foundation checks, return emails, and get my thoughts together as next week I really have to focus on preparing for the Foundation's virtual walk.
But I am proud to report that Susan, a local high school sophomore, held a successful skating fundraiser for us last night. She raised over $1,500 for Mattie Miracle. Way to go Susan!
