Hopefully today will be a good day for Gavin

The boys had a pretty decent day. They spent some time playing in our family Minecraft Realm. I can play on the Xbox while they join in from their tablets. It's a lot of fun and we can all work together. We didn't go anywhere because Lizze wasn't feeling well and the boys wanted to stick close to home. I think we're going to go Pokémon hunting tomorrow though. It'll get everyone some exercise and the boys will have some fun. I'm hoping Gavin will be going okay, so he can enjoy himself if we make it to the park. Gavin had a decent day today but clearly struggled. With any luck, Sunday will be a good day. ☺

It's way too early for Christmas lights, isn't it? Christmas lights and decorations are already being put up at the Canton Garden Center. It seems like it's a bit too early for that. Christmas is coming soon enough. Let's not rush it...

Gavin / IVIG Infusion / My thoughts

Good job Gavin

I'm looking at this as a blessing but it's also kinda interesting at the same time. With all the challenges Gavin faces on a daily basis, including memory loss, cognitive decline and a bunch more, he's still doing well in some areas. This morning Gavin had his IVIG infusion and was able to put it all together, without any noticeable problems. It's not really that complex but the fact that he was still able to put all the pieces together, and draw up his medication, is a good thing. I find this interesting because there are very simple things that Gavin is unable to do anymore. Putting his IVIG infusion together is more challenging and he can still do it. Good job Gavin.... ☺

My thoughts

The kids were up way too early

The kids were up pretty early this morning. Thankfully, they were occupied by the Xbox until about 8 AM. Everyone seems to be in a decent mood this morning and that's always a good thing. Gavin seems a little out of it but overall, he seems to be doing okay. I'm unaware of any plans we have for today, aside from housework. I'm feeling worn out from the long week and would love nothing more than to go to sleep for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, that's neither healthy or possible.

Gavin / My thoughts / Thoughts and Prayers

Please keep Gavin in your thoughts and prayers

It's been a hard day for me because I spent some time with Gavin and I've pretty much confirmed that he's getting worse. I should back up a bit and explain what I'm referring to. I had mentioned previously that it was going to be a quiet day. I had some things around the house I wanted to do and there were a few errands I needed to run as well. As per the norm, Gavin went with me to help. We were on our way to the bank, after filling up the water jugs and he began telling about some things he's been experiencing. The first thing he divulged was that he's been having nightmares again. The unsettling part of that is these nightmares involve the house burning down.…

I’m not gonna lie

It's been a relatively quiet day so far. That boys have been getting along much better than they were this morning and I'm feeling pretty good myself. I'm trying to keep myself motivated today because I want to make some progress on the house and get a few errands done as well. It's a beautiful day and I think we're going to try and take advantage of that with some time outdoors. Maybe we'll take the kids to the playground and let them have some fun. I'm not going to lie. Lizze and I are worn out because the boys have been extra challenging as of late. At the same time, we recognize the need to stay active, spend time together as a family and get the kids out of…

Read more about the article The most beautiful flower I found in Orlando, Florida

The most beautiful flower I found in Orlando, Florida I have no idea what this flower is called but it was one of the few flowers that caught my eye while we were in Florida, on my son's Wish Trip. Having been home for almost two weeks now, I'm really missing Florida. We've talked about moving there because I can work from anywhere with an internet connection.. We absolutely miss Give Kids the World. That place is magical and hard to walk away from. As for moving, it's probably not practical but one can dream.

My thoughts

Not too much on the agenda

There's only a few things that need to get done today. I have to hit the bank, fill the water jugs and do Gavin's infusion. The boys are having a rougher morning because, oh yeah, they don't have school today and they're getting on each other's nerves. Lizze is sleeping in because she's still under the weather and feeling a bit icky. I didn't sleep well last night and so I'm feeling kinda rundown today. When Lizze gets up, I'll try and sneak a nap in.
