Addison Harmon has been at Dallas Children’s Hospital for eight weeks, and the 18-year-old continues to make strides in therapy.
His parents sleep at the hospital overnight, drive home to Prosper at 5 a.m., go to work, and then go back to the hospital at night."This definitely wasn’t part of the plan and that’s OK," Addison’s father, Chris Harmon, said.The Prosper point guard was entering his senior year with potential college offers. "This 18-year-old that was driving, taking care of himself, and then all of a sudden, and it sounds bad now, but he’s disabled," Tinika said.
The Harmon’s still have questions, but they never once were worried about their son’s determination. "He has been my inspiration. The way he gets up every day, he’s joking and smiling and happy to be here," Tinika said. "I just look at him and say, ‘Hey, I can’t complain about anything.’"By September, the senior was starting to move his fingers. "He sees himself back on the basketball court. He sees himself going to college and playing collegiate basketball. That’s what he sees," Tinika said.
They are still working to find a place and also transportation each day, but they are hoping he can leave Children’s Hospital by the end of next week.
