The boys and I are going to therapy without Lizze. She had a rough day in class and had a major panic attack. She's at home resting in bed. Hopefully, she'll be feeling better in a little while.  In the course of my life, I've only ever had one or two major panic attacks, and from what I remember, they were exhausting.  I feel for Lizze, because I know how tough those were for me, and I don't have any serious anxiety issues like she does. I hope she finds some peace while she's resting and we can get in with our day. If not, I'll help her any way that I can. ♥ 

The boys made it off to school today. Emmett struggled a bit this morning because he's nervous about returning to school after so long. He's also stressed out over his make-up work. We've been working on it while he was home but he still has quite a bit to do.  The good news is that he's at school right now, and so is Elliott.  The good news continues because Gavin and I finally made it back to the track. He was able to do 1.5 miles, at a decent enough pace. It felt real good to be back at it. ☺  Our goal is to take in the track a few days a week and the off days, I'll use the treadmill.  Sadly, I can see Gavin struggling more and…

I'm thinking that I'll be able to get both boys to school today. I'm being met with some resistance from Emmett, but it's more anxiety related. He hasn't been back to school in well over a week, and he's nervous about going back.  Unfortunately, their clothes didn't dry and we're having to wait on the dryer before leaving.  Lizze is already at class for the day, so Gavin and I are on our own. I think we will be walking the track and then visiting my grandfather around lunchtime.  I'm hoping to get some writing done and then maybe some house work.  I really, really need to get our routine back on track. It's been thrown off since Emmett began his latest flare. Even neurotypical Dad's need routine.. ☺
