The next few days are gonna suck but it’s worth it

I have a few minutes before I head out to get my second COVID booster. Elliott got off to work without a problem and I'm hoping that this round of side effects doesn't hit me too hard. Gavin is going to be scheduled for his as well but not today. Covid is getting bad again and the best weapon I have to keep my loved ones safe if the vaccine. I feel good about getting my forth dose and I'm not worried about it. I'll be fine after a few days and my schedule is pretty light this week, so it works out. I have a meeting this morning and should be able to crash after that if need be. My goal today is to make further progress on Gavin's…

Third times a charm

The last couple of days have been rather busy for me. I've been dealing with side effects from my covid booster. Nothing major. In fact, it's been easier this time around but I'm getting hit with fatigue. I'm tired all the time and sleeping doesn't really make it better. Again, it's better than COVID and I'm grateful to have access to such an effective vaccine. I took Gavin to get his booster this morning. He did great and so far, his only issue is a sore arm. I do expect him to be under the weather for the next day or two but maybe he won't experience any side effects and I'd be more than okay if that were the case. Emmett's been having a difficult couple of days so…

My kids were #vaccinated at @AkronChildrens Hospital today

One of the decisions I had to make recently was whether or not to get Elliott and Emmett vaccinated for COVID. That took about 3 seconds to figure out what the right thing to do was. Of course, the boys will get vaccinated ASAP. Do I have questions about the vaccines in regards to my kids? Sure I do and that's okay. There's nothing wrong with having questions about something like this. That being said, I seek out information from friends who are quite literally experts in the field. I don't think people should be criticized for having questions or concerns but as adults we have a responsibility get our information from expert sources and not social media or right wing media sources. We owe our kids better than that…

I got tested for #COVID and here’s why

This is going to be super quick folks. I've been in pretty rough shape for the last 48 hours or so. It got so bad today that I went and got tested for COVID, just to be sure. It's been exactly 3 weeks since I had my second dose of the Moderna vaccine. The second day I was pretty miserable. Following that, I've been fine. The other day I woke up with back pain, a headache and that progressed to body aches, muscle pain, and I'm so exhausted. I didn't think much of it but it got really intense. I didn't sleep last night because I kept waking up in a cold sweat, I couldn't stay warm, or stop shaking. Motrin helped for a little while and I felt a…

I received the 1st dose of the Moderna #vaccine and this information can help you

Well it's been an eventful couple of days. I'm in a really good place and there's a couple of reasons for that but for this post, I just want to focus on one in particular. I believe in karma, I'd like to anyway. I feel like you get back from the Universe what you put out into it and I have a perfect example to share. On Friday evening, someone reached out to me on Twitter and asked if I would help them spread a message that I truly believe in. Basically it was speaking to the facts about the COVID vaccine and why it's so important that everyone gets it. I don't hide my views on this and I was happy to help any way I could. I was…

Gavin’s in rough shape after his 2nd dose of the #COVID #vaccine

It's been a challenging weekend and I haven't been keeping up with the blog as a result. This will be a super quick update and I'll do more when I can. I wanted to let you guys know how Gavin is doing after his second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine. He recieved it at 3:30 pm on Friday. He was fine until late last night. When he finally woke me up at 6:30 am, he was in rough shape. So far his symptoms are massive headache, body aches, chills, and a whole lot of exhaustion. He also says that 2/3 of his spine aches, whatever the hell that means. There's no nausea or anything like that. I'm grateful for that because vomiting would have only made a bad situation…

Gavin gets his final dose of the #COVID #vaccine today

It's gonna be a hectic day. I have a two hour meeting after lunch and it should finish up just in time for me to get Gavin to the health department for his second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine. I'm a little concerned about how Gavin is going to handle the side effects. More than that, I'm concerned about how severe the side effects will be for him because of all his health issues. The vaccine is absolutely vital for him and I'm not worried about its safety at all. Most people experience side effects, which is expected. I just don't know how they will impact him, personally. Gavin decided to do his IVIG infusion a day early so he wasn't putting too much strain on his body today.…
