It took several phone calls, but we finally have Emmett on the path to recovery. We will hopefully stop anyone else in our house from getting pink eye. On the way home from picking Elliott up from school, we hit the grocery store and then grabbed Emmett's eye drops before heading back. I'm slightly frazzled in general today, and I was heavily focused on getting Emmett fixed up ASAP. He needs drops in both eyes, four times a day for seven days. He should be good to return to school on Wednesday. Unfortunately, Emmett is not a fan of eye drops by any stretch of the imagination. Hopefully, he'll cooperate, and this doesn't turn into an even worse situation. So we're clear, Emmett's issues with eye drops are sensory in…

I got Elliott to school this morning and called the doctor about Emmett on my way to go walking. They didn't schedule an appointment yet because they may just call in a script. Pink eye is pretty straight forward. Emmett is miserable, and they haven't called back yet. I'm going to give them until noon, and if I haven't heard back, I'll call back. I may just run him to the urgent care, if we can't figure this out soon. Pink eye is incredibly contagious and I don't want to have our own little outbreak. Outside of that, Lizze isn't feeling well, Gavin is acting weird and my walk went great. 😀

I sort of feel like the powers that be are shooting at the ground around my feet and screaming dance monkey dance. The last seven days have been a nightmarish blur. We've survived it, and I'm grateful, but the ride isn't over just yet. First, we had Gavin come off his meds and go completely psychotic. He went back on his meds and was rushed to the emergency room a few hours later. He was released the following day, and we came home to Elliott not feeling well. Elliott ended up going to school on Monday because he was feeling fine, only to be sent home after developing a fever. He was home the entire week and was joined by Emmett on Wednesday. Mr. Emmett spiked a fever and had…

It's been a lot of doom and gloom lately because of life throwing so crazy shit in our direction, with laser-guided precision. In the spirit of Easter, I wanted to take a step back and gain some much-needed perspective. What better way to do that then share a few things I'm thankful for. 😀 First of all, I'm grateful for my family. We often find ourselves struggling or facing obstacles that may seem impossible in the moment, but we always find a way. I can't ask for more than that. My wife and kids are absolutely amazing and the light of my life. ☺ We have family on both sides that are incredibly supportive, and we wouldn't have made it this far without them. Lizze and I both lost a…

I fell a bit behind today and wasn't able to get much writing done. We had a relatively quiet day because the boys are still under the weather and Elliott is currently running a fever. Emmett seems to be doing better but is not back to himself just yet. Gavin is physically doing good. His IVIG infusion on Friday completed without any issues. It's been a little while since he's had a flawless infusion. He was happy with that, and we were grateful that he didn't have to go through anything more than was necessary. Lizze and I had a pretty decent day. I was able to go walking but cut it short at the 2-mile mark because Ruby was limping. I carried her back to the car, and we're…
