Updates with Photo's of the BIG boy!!!

I know it has been a long time between posts and much has happened.

The pictures above are of the little man -

Harrison is off all his prophylactic meds ( ie those meds to stop hm gettign sick) and has had a course of immunisations which have worked well. He had pneumonia a few weeks ago again, and for the first time ever, he had a normal reaction to an infection. His white blood cell count increased and his neutrophils increased too.. Which in lamens terms means his body is learning how to fight off infection. It was rather thrilling to see him have a normal response - even though he had pneumonia!!

He has a cane now to assist with his eyesight and has been given the clearance from the Dr's to go out into the big wide world - So... Off to preschool for Harrison next year :) And given all the hospital and setbacks he is very much like the average 2 and a half year old boy. He is well spoken, enjoys life and is a general handful.

There are still a few ongoing issues of epilepsy - which we are working hard to control & his deteriorating eyesight, but all in all, he is going great. Even the news in terms of the vision loss has been positive and it is not degenerating as quickly as before. He may well have vision until he is around 10 years old. Which is heaps better than the doctors expected.

And soo a few pictures to keep you amused. Mostly they are of him with the cane - which when you take a picture of it lights up - as it has light reflective coating on it! Cool huh..
