Summer Update


I can not believe summer has already come and gone. The kids are already back in school! We had a very busy summer. We moved into our new house over Memorial Day weekend. It is so nice not to have to carry Hannah up and down the stairs anymore. Hannah had her dance recital at the beginning of June. She was amazing. I have never seen her hold her head up so well or make such purposeful movements with her hands and feet. At the end of her performance several people stood up to applaud. Big brother Joseph spent the summer swimming on the swim team.
At the end of June, my family all went to Florida together to celebrate my parents 40th wedding anniversary. We had four generations enjoying the sun and surf together. Hannah loved swimming and playing with her brother and cousin. July was spent at various play dates with friends and family.
Now the kids are back in school. Hannah is back in the same class as last year. She was so excited to see her teacher again. Everyday when the bus comes, Hannah gets so excited to go to school. We are continuing Hannah's private therapies outside of school. She will start back to her dance class this week. I know she will love it.
Medically, Hannah is doing well. Her seizures are pretty well controlled. On Sept 1st, she will have a CT scan for a two-year check up from her shunt removal. I cannot believe it has been two years. Hannah has come so far. I know she will continue to make huge strides.
