I fell asleep praying Owen would sleep all night but I think sleep has become an optional part of life. One o’clock he came to check if it was time to go to school, two o’clock he wanted to go read to the horses, and at four o’clock he decided that it was time for his tablet. These times do not reflect the times that I woke up as well. He was at least calm about all of it with no screaming.
He told me he was both happy and sad about his actions with his doctor yesterday. I could tell he was thinking about it all. He told me that he thought it was funny. I asked him if he thought screaming at people was funny and he then said, “it not funny it sad.” I asked him if he wanted to go back or take a break. He said, “Go do exercises.” I pray he means it.
It’s always interesting how our mornings go. He was beyond ready to get to school. We spent lots of time talking about yesterday, thinking about today, and wanting to know about the days ahead. We got dressed and it wasn’t long before he was off to school.
He came home with so much information flowing right out of him. He wanted to go read to a “Dunbar middle horse” combining several names together. He also said he was not interested in going to the Special Olympics. He would stay at school, he told me, because he doesn’t have to go since he is a big boy. He told me that the horse would go to South Charleston High School with him. I couldn’t keep up with everything he was telling me. He said he was going to decorate for Christmas so he could see “Night Santa” sooner.
I didn’t mention that we were going to see the horses on Thursday until he started telling me all this. Sometimes if I tell him things too soon it makes it harder on him. He said he wanted to show the horse how to ride a bike and he wanted to ride in a horse wagon. He was being extremely descriptive about everything. Then he told me he was going to invite it to his birthday party. I loved all the details. He wanted the horse to come indoors to sit with him at lunch. It was cracking me up with how many things he was saying and what he wanted to do. He kept going until he finally sat down to eat his snack.
He was very calm all night and I was not rocking any horses. He took a long bath and then came to sit with me in the “white bed” that now has had a pink blanket on it forever but I don’t think he will ever change the name. He told me numerous times he was going to behave tomorrow so he could go to dinner.
I am hoping sleep is in everyone’s future for tonight. I’m thankful he had a good day. My infusion went well today and I’m thankful I’m only feeling a little queasy from it. Tomorrow I go for my echogram and after school, Owen goes to the dentist for a checkup. Another busy day ahead. Each day is a gift. Through challenges, I learn how much sweeter our victories truly are. Let today be your guide for a beautiful tomorrow. Smiles to all and donut daze!
