Today has not gone as planned. Elliott didn’t sleep well at all last night and was beyind exhausted and not feeling well this morning. Emmett was up on and off with nightmares as well. That means that I got a really shitty night’s sleep myself. Elliott was unable to make it to school this morning …

We had a frustrating therapy session tonight. The boys are very frustrated about certain things that I can’t help them with. They will talk to me about what’s bothing them because A) they trust me, and B) because I’m there in the moment when they need to talk. Outside of those moments, they do not …

As a family, we had a pretty decent day. There was no real excitement and that’s the kind of day I like to have whenever possible. Gavin had his IVIG Infusion, while I got some work done and the E’s played the Xbox together. There was no fighting the entire day and I can’t remember …

The boys are gone for the night and I can just sorta exhale for a bit. I absolutely love my kids but it’s so hard to see them hurting all the time. It eats away at me and it’s tough to deal with. I just finished a 3.5 mile walk with my Mom and I …
