I couldn’t fall asleep last night for nothing. I think I was still on adrenaline from the day but thankfully Owen went to sleep quickly and then he slept all night long. We were both awake by six and ready to start the day. And today I got to have my glorious cup of coffee when I first woke up.
I’m thankful he was very calm this morning even though he was very concerned about not seeing his friends until August. I can only imagine how hard it is on him not to see the people he wants to see. Trying to explain that to him is very difficult as well. I wish I could make that connection for him but it is hard when you want to see your people.
My pain level was minimal when I woke up. I feel very blessed that yesterday went so smoothly. I know God was watching over me and is with me on this journey. I talked to Owen more about my “medicine box” and let him know that the doctor gave it to me yesterday. He went to hit me but instead, he tapped my belly and said, “Gentle.” When I talked to my mom about his day with her she said that he mentioned the different things we had talked about. I am thankful he is starting to process it all.
Before his therapy, we went to our church so I could record a video about his classroom. Having a church that loves my child and helps him grow is such a blessing. Being able to go to church without worrying about him is wonderful. The volunteers who help in the room are truly amazing.
We were off to his therapy next and he had a great day. I love how much progress he has made. Knowing that these people pour their hearts into helping Owen grow is truly visible by how far he has come. I love to see him shine.
When we got home he was pretty calm. I was thankful for that. I still wasn’t in much pain but my exhaustion had caught up with me. He repeated “you know the answer” more times than I could count and screamed it on occasion. I’m not quite sure what he wanted to know but he knew he wanted me to tell it to him. Dinner and bedtime seemed to flow smoothly and the requests came in for what he wanted to do in the coming weeks.
Each day is a day that we can all find something to grow with and let that be our guide to shine. I’ve learned so much from Owen and I’m thankful for how he makes my heart happy. Be inspired by the world and let that be your guide to happiness. Smiles to all and donut daze!
