My favorite Pastime .... mowing the lawn with Uncle Aaron!

I'm doing great!

After my exciting day of sitting up by myself, I got really sick....for 8 days! My mom and dad didn't have me do much in those days, but I am home now! Boy does it feel good to sleep in my own bed! I survived the plane ride....I only slept about 2 hours during the 11 hour plane ride. That may sound terrible, but it made for an easy recovery to Denver time. And guess what? Two of my favorite families were at the airport to welcome me home! The Freed's and Cohen's! It was sooo fun to see familiar faces! I was so tired I could hardly talk! We got home a little after 8 pm and went right to sleep.
For an update....it is much easier for me to get my words out. My speech is getting better each day. My hands aren't clentched and my wrists can rotate! Yesterday my mom helped me hold on to a chair in our front room, and then she let go....I could stand holding onto furniture for a minute or two! I'm really excited!
Thanks again to everyone who helped make this adventure possible! We are praying for my bestest friend Dominic today and tomorrow. His procedure is tomorrow and Wednesday! We love you Big D!

  4. Awesome Harrison,

    So so exciting. I wish we were there to see you first hand but your blog is great. We can watch you on your little videos. It is fantastic to see you home in Denver and hear all about your progress. So many more fun things to come for you. We will continue to pray for you and we will also continue to pray for Dominic. You two will have so much to catch up on when he gets home.
    We love you . . . . the Dexters
