It’s been a busy morning already. Lizze didn’t sleep very well. She’s in a lot of pain and extremely nervous about her second Infusion today. It’s very hard to be hopeful when you’ve been in so much pain for so long and nothing has ever been able to help. I’m trying to get her to …

The first day of headache infusions had some painful drawbacks
It’s been a really, really long day and I’m going to make this a quick update. I want to let you know how the first day of headache infusions went for Lizze. It’s been a mixed bag for her. For starters, the Cleveland Clinic is amazing and the staff made Lizze feel very comfortable with …

2 hours into her 1st headache infusion at the @clevelandclinic
Lizze has been hooked up to the IV for about two hours now. There’s no room for me to sit with her so I’m hanging out in the lobby until she’s done. I’m allowed to walk back and check on her but I have to be very, very quiet because everyone in there is dealing …

I was an awful parent (by my standards) this morning and I feel horrible
It was a very chaotic morning and I regret a great deal of it. We were trying to get everyone out the door and nothing was going right. The boys were being kids and I simply had no patience. Elliott is at that age where we aren’t sure how much is Autism, anxiety and depression …

Praying the @clevelandclinic can help my wife
Lizze and I made it to the Cleveland Clinic’s Neurological Center for Pain. We actually made it 10 minutes early and considering traffic, that’s a miracle.

Helplessly watching as my wife suffers is absolutely awful
Lizze is in rough shape today. This migraine is relentless and you can see that it’s taking its toll on her. She’s absolutely miserable and there’s nothing I can do to help her. It’s so bad she can’t be touched. There’s not anything I can do but get her to her appointment today. The pain …

How the @clevelandclinic gave us hope
It’s been a couple of days and I’ve still not gotten around to updating you on Lizze’s appointment at the Cleveland Clinic. As a quick reminder, she was at the Neurological Center for Pain, seeking help for her migraines. Lizze went into this appointment with very, very low expectations because for the most part, she’s …
