Today is procedure #4.  Leaf has been very strong the last few days.  The last treatment went very well.  We had almost given up on Leaf learning how to crawl - he likes to stand so we thought we'd just go for walking.  But since we've been here he's been pushing up onto his hands and knees without help.  His digesting issues are improving.  He hasn't been gagging and vomiting (his average is 3 to 4 times a day) since the very first injection - His nystagmus is better as well.  He holds he eyes more open and will try to look for people more than before. He was very sensitive to light after his second treatment and did not want to look in the mirror or at his bright toys - but now, he is again enjoying the eye exercises and play we do with him each day.  

Leaf made it through an entire doctor (team) visit today without getting upset. I just hope he doesn't always associate the Chinese language with hospitals and needles.  It is an amazing experience being here.   My parents took this great picture of Leaf sleeping on his little rice pillow.
