Deb and Cannon went to Pittsburgh this past week for Cannon's 6 week visit. We have seen such positive things already and we are really excited about the future.
This visit was only for blood work and some height and weight measurements...but the next visit in May will be much more informative as we will get to see how he does with his physical therapy and other markers for progress.
Since the inception of the study for Cannon he has grown 2 cm and gained one pound. There was no information provided to us as to how this compares to other patients...hopefully we will find out more later.
This visit was interesting because Microsoft donated a bunch of x-boxes to the hospital and they all got installed in the rooms while Cannon was there. This was a big deal as the local papers came out and did a story. Oddly enough...Cannon's picture made the paper in Pittsburgh, so his celebrity status continues to grow whereever he goes!

Strangely enough...some old friends from Mountain Lakes that had recently moved to Pittsburgh saw Cannon's picture in the paper and reached out to us. It's so nice to know we have some friends in Pittsburgh when we travel...thanks!
