Update on Harrison

Harrison is doing great. He teased us a few times in June by rolling over without assistance, but not until the last couple of weeks has he gotten the hang of it. Every time we cheer like it was the first and he grins ear to ear. He is getting stronger and can tolerate more tummy time with ease. He has started to go outside is safe zone while sitting and reach for toys. A majority of his tests have come back negative, and we are leaning more towards the idea that his hypotonia is benign and will out grow it with time. He had a repeat swallow study last week and improved. We get to go back to nectar thick liquids with hopes of passing thin liquids next time we go in a few months. His therapist said she saw great improvement. I grinned all the way home, the kind that makes your cheeks hurt. We are so thankful to all that God is doing and all that He has taught us during this time.
We have therapy once a week outpatient and he is doing good, but still needs to build up his stamina. Mimi took him this week while I had a class. He knew his Mimi was a softy because he cried after about 20 minutes and kept looking for Mimi to rescue him. He had to be taken out in the hall for a little while for some distraction, but as soon as he saw Mimi again he cried. I guess he knows mommy will make him work.
Aside from this Mr. Harrison's personality is also blossoming. Just in the last few weeks he has started waving is own unique way, playing peek a boo own his own, banging on toys, expressing his frustration through grunting, babbling and singing, and exploring toys. He is a blanket boy, predictable sleeper, fabulous eater, cuddler, and adored by all of us.
