2020 (Is that really a real year?)

I plan on printing this whole blog as a recollection of Jack's journey, his childhood, and his progress. He has grown up so much in the last few years. Next fall he will technically be a freshman in High School (?!!) I'm so proud of him because I see the challenges he faces every day and he keeps on going.

 Jack struggled a bit with the transition to Jr. High. His friends changed, he changed, his grades went down a bit and he got in a rut. We changed schools, adjusted his social atmosphere and got him on some ADHD medication as well as a therapist to talk to. I believe although it was a massive recovery that happened quickly r obviously, those steps were important and have helped him in the long run.

This is Jack's final year in Jr. High. We was accepted to a Charter school called Paradigm High School and will be attending there for the rest of his grade-school career. He is smart, talented, an excellent drummer and musician, and has a silly sense of humor. I hope he continues to grow his mind, his body and soul and that he is appreciated by all those who meet him.

Jack has his l4 year Annual Cardio check up in February. Dr. Su was pleased with all test results, echo results, and holter monitor. He says Jack is doing great and we continue to watch his liver. I always feel like these appointments are "green lights" for the next year. It's always a relief.
