So far this Summer...

Well Summer in west Georgia has it's challenges especially for someone with Epilepsy. It's hot, usually over 100 with the heat index, and it's so hard to do much outside unless it's at the pool. Despite the challenges, Mom and Dad have worked hard to ensure that I enjoy as much as I can before my surgery next month.
Speaking of surgery, it's been pushed back to 12 August so that both my doctors are available and not troubled by other responsibilities like being on-call. It really put a kink in our plans. My Gammy had arranged 2 weeks off from work with doctors from other regions covering her shifts in the ER so that she could come to B'Ham and help Mom and Dad. Now my surgery is two weeks later than planned and Gammy can't rework her schedule in such a short time. At least Grandmom and Pop Pop will still be able to watch my two sisters while Mom and Dad take me to Birmingham. The other speed bump is that puts my Mom two weeks closer to her due date of September 21st. The Army doctors have cleared her to travel and are going to have her car
Dad on the second pitch of The Daddy 5.6ry all her prenatal medical records with her just in case the new baby wants to be born in Alabama! Let's hope not...
The end of June and early July meant Camp Grandmom. It's an annual event where me and my sisters and as many cousins that can make it all go to Grandmom's house in the mountains of western North Carolina for a week. We go on day outings, visit parks, hike, swim, etc and give Mom and Dad a well deserved rest. While I was playing, Mom and Dad were visiting friends in Linville Gorge, NC. Dad was climbing the Amphitheater area of the the Gorge with his friend Mr. Nate from the Army and Mom was doing girl things with Mr. Nate's wife, Mrs. Kim. Mrs. Kim and Mom are great friends and my sisters love their two girls.
We also got to see some fireworks in NC, and there was a bonus display at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GA the Friday after July 4th due to weather so we got to see a another professional display.
We have to make the most of the beginning of this summer because after 12 August, I'll be out of commission for some time. I hope you are all enjoying your summers, too!

If you could talk Xaiver, I know this is what you would say:
Fun times at Camp with lots of good memories walking miles with Grandmom. I felt like such a big boy hiking (in my jogstrooler) and being part of a week of challenges. Can't wait for next year!
I loved being with my cousin, Harrison and my sister MaryLiz. They were great and helpful to Grandmom and Pop Pop too!
This year Mocha (the camp mascot) let me crawl and use him to stand up. I just love Mocha!
