Basketball practice
Namine is getting faster and stronger in her sport wheelchair.

Sprained wrist
Namine thought her wrist was broken. Fortunately, this was not the case.

Baseball game
We had a great time at the Brewers game. Don’t ask me who the opposing team was, though.

It’s okay to not be okay
Namine and I are reading a book in school called “Homesick: My Own Story.” It’s about a girl named Jean who lives with her parents in China. Jean had a baby brother, who was born six weeks early and passed away a few days after he was born.

Chest pain
We had a little bit of a freak-out when Namine complained of chest pain, but it seems to be nothing more than a pulled muscle.

A colorful haircut
Namine got her hair cut. She also got a purple streak!

A day of sports
Namine had a great time at basketball practice and ice hockey.

Al’s Run
We had a great time running and walking in Briggs & Al’s Run!

Decorating our shirts
We weren’t able to have a custom design printed on the backs of our shirts, so we made our own.

Voice-activated lights
I’ve connected a Raspberry Pi and a couple of smart plugs so Namine can turn on a light in her room which she previously could not.

Echocardiogram
Today’s cardiology appointment went very well.
