After not seeing my little friend since before Christmas, yesterday I visited him at home in New Hampshire. Giovanni is really doing excellent. He is walking all over the place, holding his own and enjoying life. A year ago this time I visited Giovanni at Children's Hospital while he was in a coma, fighting for his life. It's been so great to witness his amazing turn around.

Giovanni enjoyed pressing ALL of the buttons in my car!

Then he watered the flowers, more than once.

He has quite a green thumb.

More water please!

Giovanni's godmother Elena visited with me.

Elena is a research scientist at a Harvard Medical lab in Boston. After hearing about Giovanni in the news over two years ago, Elena was so moved by him that she decided to get involved. She's been by his side ever since.

Off to play in the yard!

Save Giovanni's Friends recently surpassed 24k donors added to the international registry. Not an easy task!

I love this one!
