We actually had a great summer!
Harrison had lots of vacation from his family and got to spend some quality time with his girls...the wonderful nurses and babysitters who have become welcome fixtures in our home...while we so graciously got outta town throughout the summer to give him, Cannon, and Ruby the run of the house. Yeah, we're thoughtful like that. We also made sure that while we were all here together, we had a good time. He was so busy walking the dogs and riding his horse and visiting family in Baltimore that he just did not make time for even a sniffle! (He has a little cold now of course, but that comes with the start of a new school year, I have learned).
Harry and Mom took a road trip to Charm City in August to visit MomMom and PopPop, and he also got to see his Aunt Carol and wish cousins Lauren and Mitch love and happiness for their September wedding.
He did great in the car both ways, especially when we could take a break to stretch our legs and he could stand by the car with no help from Mom!
Harrison has been thrilled to return to a full week of school- his third and final year in preschool. He is still in the morning class with the same amazing teachers. Even better, with the trach he out he no longer needs to have a nurse with him in the classroom. It is sooo much better for everyone! He has more consistency, and it is a wonderful symbol of the progress he has made. The school has hired an aid for Harrison who is really great - what a relief!
Harrison continues to ride his horse Karina every Thursday, and every week he truly gets stronger. Everyone has noticed he is more alert, makes better eye contact, and in general seems more present. He and Karina love each other so much, it is clear, and it is still the highlight of our week.
