Pictures from Elliott’s occupational therapy session

I wanted to take a minute and share a few pictures from Elliott's occupational therapy session today. This was his first time back since being sick and missing the last session. He didn't go with a great deal of excitement because he wasn't in a good mood. By the time he finished up his session, he was in a much better mood. He was even happier after I got him a donut, but don't tell anyone else. 😉 [foogallery id="65509"]

Elliott will be returning this afternoon

Elliott will be returning to occupational therapy today after school. He only goes twice a month and missed his last appointment because he was sick. He's excited to return this afternoon but disappointed it won't cause me to pull him out early. This time around, we were able to schedule his sessions after school, so he doesn't have to be pulled early. Anyway, he will have a good time this afternoon and I know he's looking good forward to going. ☺

Another missed day of school

Mr. Elliott will be home sick once again. He seems to be feeling better during the day but worse towards bedtime. That's pretty common I think. The problem is that he was running a fever yesterday afternoon and hasn't been fever free for twenty-four hours yet. I'm going to try and get all his makeup work sent home for the weekend. He doesn't do well when overwhelmed by things like a shitload of makeup work. This way he can do a little at a time and survive it. ☺ Hopefully, he'll feel better over the weekend and return to school on Monday. ☺

Elliott’s home sick AGAIN

As I mentioned last night, Elliott is home sick again today. He went back to school yesterday but came home with a fever. He's spent most of the day resting and watching Netflix. Yesterday, he came home with a his make up work and has completed all of it already. At least he's not going to be too far behind when he goes back, hopefully tomorrow.

Elliott should be back to school today

Elliott will most likely be returning to school in the morning. It appears that he's dealing with a head cold and the drainage is what was causing him all the problems. This happens a the time and there's really no way to know why he's nauseated or dealing with a headache and sore throat until it sorta works itself out. He was a bit under the weather at bedtime but otherwise fine. He doesn't have a fever and if all holds true through the night, I will be driving him to school before my morning walk. ☺

He doesn’t remember and that’s concerning

We made a spontaneous trip to the park. Elliott decided he wanted to walk the track and I jumped at the opportunity. Gavin wanted to come along with us but I was concerned about his hip. I asked him if he thought his hip would be okay during the walk. He looked at me like I had two heads and said that his hips never hurt. At first I thought he was joking but it turns out he's serious. He doesn't remember ever having issues with his hips while we were walking. I can't tell you how many times he's had issues with his hips while on a walk. The fact that he doesn't remember is a bit concerning. He came with us and ended up doing okay, but we…

One reason why this is so heartbreaking for me

The boys have left for my parents house and It feels like a countdown until we head to the vet. This is not how I envisioned spending my birthday. The reason I'm writing is because I wanted to share a letter Elliott wrote yesterday while at school. This is a large part of the reason we didn't send them to school today. Elliott gave his permission to share this because he wants people to know how he's feeling. Below is the letter he wrote. Please be warned, it's absolutely heartbreaking to read. 😭

It seems like the right thing to do

Lizze and I have decided to keep the boys home from school tomorrow. They're going to be a mess and there's no benefit to sending them. They will be going to my parents house for the afternoon. That's not going to take the pain away but they will be much more comfortable there than at school. This is going to be hard on everyone and knowing the boys will be with my parents is a comfort. I don't know if this is the right decision but it seems like the right thing to do.
