Where do I start? Maybe where we left off... Ayden was able to visit with Dr. Lew in Wisconsin the Friday before Camp Riley and the quick brain showed that the increased ventricle issue(that was found in the ER and remained status before we left Milwaukee a few days later) had resolved. No surgical intervention needed which meant "ALL CLEAR" for camp! 😁 He had an amazing time, and wants to go back. The only concern was they wanted him to communicate more, but I think his shy side probably trumped his first time at camp since 2018. We have no regrets trying it again and I am glad he still has 3 summers left to attend. In his words:
 |
| I went water skiing! |
 |
| I went ziplining! |
Needless to say his smiles say A LOT!!
Now to some very exciting news: Ayden is changing schools next year! He will be headed to Dekalb High School. He visited his new school on Friday briefly as we walked around he talked about it being a "big school". He is excited to meet new friends and enjoy a new experience. This will be a crazy year for us all as Nessa will finish her senior year at PH and I am changing gears just a bit to start a new challenge as well. Next up will be "the Big Fair" as he calls it. The one thing Ayden missed while at camp was fair time, but he will get his fill of ice cream, tram rides, and grilled cheese at the State Fair in two weeks.
We ask for prayers for continued healthy days and a successful start with a lot of new faces in the coming weeks.
