Lizze isn't doing well today at all.  She's in a great deal of pain and her tremors are really bad.  In fact, the tremors are so bad that she keeps dropping her phone. This is of course, really frustrating and demoralizing for her.  The meds to control the tremors puts her right to sleep and so that puts more on me. This translates to Daddy not getting anything done.  I'm happy to help, don't get me wrong.  It's just that there is no one there to pick up the slack for me. Whatever I don't get done, simply doesn't get done and unfortunately, there's a lot that needs done.  Lizze needed to go lay down a little while ago.

I'm keeping this short and sweet because I'm completely exhausted and I have a little one to look after right now.  That's right, he's not sleeping.  Basically, Emmett was blowing bubbles today with my Mom, while we were with Gavin at his infusion.  My Mom is always doing crafts with the boys and they love it.  Today they made a homemade bubble blower thing.  Long story short, instead of blowing the soap to make a bubble, Emmett sucked it in and inhaled the soapy water.  He then vomited all over the yard, quite a bit actually. At some point, he must have aspirated some of the solution into his lungs.  This evening we started noticing problems and he would get to the point that he actually couldn't even talk. We…

I want to preface this by saying that while there is one F-bomb, the video is absolutely brilliant. Watching this, I was nodding my head in understanding the entire time. I can absolutely relate to every single thing these Mom’s are saying.
