Making Friends
Tison has been in Alaska for ten months. He is speaking English very well and has made a couple good friends. His friend, Isaac, spent the night–they played and watched movies. This is a new concept for Tison–to have a friend spend the night. What a life–watching movies, eating popcorn and drinking soda. He is having fun and building friendships. Tison is a good friend and is kind to the other children he knows.
He has several surgeries ahead of him. His visa extension application is in process. After consulting his plastic surgeon–we believe he needs to stay until June 2011. He is improving and also growing taller. He does miss his family but understands he is here to be fixed and then he can go home.
