Today was a sort of a mixed bag for the boys and I. We got off to a great start in the morning but then there was a shit ton of drama surrounding Gavin’s IVIG Infusion. He’s becoming paranoid when it comes to this and won’t leave the needles alone after they’re placed. He fiddles …

I feel like we had a pretty good day. Emmett’s birthday, while not what I would have liked for him, made him happy and that’s what matters. Lizze and her made a carrot cake for him and dropped it off. That was cool way for them to be a part of this important day. We …

I wanted to explain the hiccup with school that we ran into. I mentioned this in a recent post and never circled back to explain. I figured I start the day off with some writing and this is a good place to start. The issue we ran into is with vaccines for both Elliott and …
