As promised...I wanted to provide some video of Cannon playing tennis. This is from his most recent lesson this past Sunday. Needless to say, we are all impressed and proud of Cannon.

Final Pittsburgh Details
Well, Cannon and I had a successful trip. We got home safely last night with a slight delay in Pittsburgh which has become part of the norm.
The last part of the day was Cannon's physical assessment. We were very pleased with Cannon as he was able to move farther along in the testing than ever before. The different tests are given until he cannnot complete 3 exercises in a row. On this visit Cannon was able to get through the entire test!
This video below was a big thing for Cannon. He was terrified of jumping off the chair and it took us about 10 minutes to talk him into trying it. Even though he needed a spotter to keep him from falling...this was a huge accomplishment for him.

This video is Cannon jumping over a piece of tape that was 10 inches off the ground. He tried this 3 months ago and couldn't do it. While he still needed help with his landing...he cleared the height with room to spare and his distance was also impressive!
Overrall, Cannon did very well and we are so pleased with his progress.

Pittsburgh Visit
Cannon and I had a good flight last night and had time to chill in our hotel room. We ordered room service and watched Batman...he was spoiled.
We have already done most of our testing today...we are just waiting on the physical therapist to come in and do the physical assessment.
We have learned so far that in the past 3 months Cannon has grown an inch taller, gained 2 lbs and his x-rays reveal significant increase in bone density. This is all exciting news and we will have more to follow after his PT assessment this afternoon.

9 month update
Well I am posting tonight for the first time in a while and I appreciate all of the loyal followers who have been waiting to hear from us. I apologize for the delay.
As we speak, Deborah is on a plane to Belgium to meet with Enobia to discuss the importance of Soft Bones to the HPP community among other important things. So while we have exciting things as a foundation...Cannon also has exciting things happening!
This week marks the 9th month that Cannon has been on the trial. We will be heading to Pittsburgh on Thursday for his quarterly visit and we are thrilled with all of his progress.
He has been taking tennis lessons and doing great! I hope to have video of this soon to post. He runs around doing all of the drills and has excellent instincts according to his coach. He is always asking me to enroll him in soccer, baseball and other sports. I honestly struggle with this every time. What should I say...what should I do? But I think the take away is Cannon's confidence continues to grow every day and he thinks he can do anything.
More to come on Deb's return and our visit at Pittsburgh this week.
