Though separated by a newly renovated bathroom, Katie Harrison can still keep a watchful eye on her 4-year-old Hawk as he works on walking on his own. The Harrisons’ new home setup includes an in-house therapy room and a wheelchair-accessible bathroom, which separates Hawk’s and his mother’s bedrooms. The work was managed by Sunshine on a Ranney Day, a nonprofit working with sponsors to create home makeovers for children facing long-term illnesses.
