A lot has happened since my last blog. 

Cannon continues to do well in tennis and loves to go.  He also loves to play outside in the snow as you can see by this short video of him sledding. 

On this particular day...Cannon played outside for about 6 consecutive hours...with no rests or breaks at all.  This confirms our theory that he cons us into carrying him or helping him at times when he says his legs are tired. 

Cannon also recently had an incident at school where he hurt his wrist.  He went to the nurse and they iced it.  The school nurse called me and said we should get it x-rayed and that it was swollen.  He came home with a brace but quickly took it off and never complained about it again.  He played and did all of his normal things and never said a word.  If we asked him about it he said it hurt a little...so his grandpa Roger took him to get it x-rayed this past Monday.  Everything was fine and there were no issues...as we expected.

Cannon is also really progressing with his injections.  Over the last couple of weeks...there has not been one tear shed on one injection.  In fact...Cannon has this thing where he says "I can do it, I can do it, I can do it" over and over until the injection is over.  This has helped him so much and he never complains or fights me about getting a shot.  Things have been so much easier.

Cannon is in so many ways a typical boy.  He is always running in the house (even with our constant pleas to stop), throwing and kicking a ball and rough housing with his brother Clark.  He also loves to wrestle with his cousin Jamie.

We have our next trip to Pittsburgh all set for February 17.  This will mark 1 year on the trial and we are excited about what the next year will bring for Cannon.
