Orion and the Hemisphere Tower



Orion was able to procure a couple of afternoon passes this weekend! After going to the Rain Forest Cafe with his mom Saturday, he asked his dad to take him to the Tower of the Americas, the revolving restaurant in the downtown skies of San Antonio! During the one hour wait, we toured the grounds with its many fountains and waterfalls. Orion's Nana Colleen, cousins Isabelle, Sophia, Eva Simone, and Caleb along with Uncle Wayne and Aunt Thelma were honored to attend a luncheon with Rock Star Orion. Among the culinary pleasures were Alaskan Salmon, Filet Mignon, and of course the long standing delight Chicken Tenders with French Fries! Orion saved the latter morsels for his cousins while he forced himself to be satisfied with the surf and turf items. Aside from the delectable dishes, the +/-60 mile views from the top of the 750 foot restaurant was a panoramic feast for the eyes. Orion recalled dining at this restaurant last year with fond memories of being able to see the complete 360 degree breath-taking views from this establishment that completes one revolution per hour. He had asked his dad about going here ever since he knew he would be a patient at Warm Springs in San Antonio. He finally got his wish!

Orion is working hard to get better and stronger so that he might be able to leave the hospital and go home to complete his physical and speech therapies on an out patient basis.
Please remember to keep him in your prayers. He has come such a long way because of your love! Thank you.
