This has been the week from hell but I'm finally made it to this point.. Here's all the crap I have to do today..
Let me start off by saying that this will be a two-part post. There's simply too much to squeeze into one. This has been one of those days where exhaustion isn't quite the right word to use in describe how tired I am. I'm completely spent, body, mind, and soul. Today was our trip to Cleveland because Elliott, Emmett, and Gavin all had appointments with allergy and immunology. These were all basically follow-ups but Emmett was added to the schedule at the last minute because of the fever issues he's been having. It was a very long drive but the boys did really well.

Frankly, we've been going every week since before Elliott or Emmett was born and so it's become just one of those things I rarely think much about because I'm so used to it. When the boys and I arrive, we usually…
Emmett's fever cycles seem to be back with a vengeance.. This is so hard to manage because there's literally nothing I can do and he can't go to school or therapies... Here's what's going on, as well as a brief history of pictured from over the years, documenting the symptoms...
