Harrison made it back from camp but with a few stories and bruises. Overall he rated it 3/10 (still, better than last year which was only 1/10). Main problem was food but also said he got bored with the activities.
Just to add to it, the day I picked him up, I also had to take him to the doctor. Seems he tripped and fell over at one point, injuring his finger which then got infected and had puss building up under the skin (no good for a kid with an artificial heart valve).
On top of that, he says that he hit is head and was knocked out for a short period, although he didn't tell any teachers because he thought they would 'freak out'.
So for now, he's taking drugs to fight the infection (although he is allergic to penecillan and all the standard drugs and the alternates play up with his other standard drugs - Warfarin). We also have to keep an eye on him over the next month to make sure there is no bleeding going on in his skull.

Harrison was having trouble getting to sleep one night recently and kept getting up to talk to Alison.
After trying to tell him to relax, think of nice things and various other suggestions to get him to go to sleep, Harry had pushed Alison's patience to the limit.
"Look, just lie there and count to two thousand", she told him with a tiny hint of malice in her voice.
This did the trick and she didn't see him again that night. However....
When she went into his room in the morning to wake him for school, he casually rolled over, and with just a touch of a smirk on his face, said, "...one thousand, two hundred and thirty eight; one thousand, two hundred and thirty nine..."

Annelise can play musical tunes by 'arm-farting' (i.e. sticking one hand in her armpit and then waving the arm up and down luck a duck trying to fly). Her repertoire includes the Star Wars theme music and Happy Birthday, which she played for Harrison recently on his birthday.
As impressive as this all sounds, we should give thanks where it is due and credit her Uncle Paul with teaching Annelise the mysterious arts of 'arm-farting'.
