Feeling Wednesday - our autism journey

Between Owen’s vaccines and the new tooth coming in it was a long night and day for him. He woke around two and he was “cranky” as he calls himself when he is not feeling well. He told me “My mouth is cranky” and crawled into bed with me but eventually got back out and took his tablet to his bed. I am thankful for his words so that he can express his pain and how he feels. It’s so hard for this momma’s heart when he is hurting but so thankful that he can help me understand what is wrong.

I started giving him Tylenol and he was feeling better. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better for his mouth and he won’t feel as sluggish from the vaccines. Plus he woke up so early because he was excited about meeting his teacher today. I call that a rookie mistake. I know I shouldn’t tell him what we are doing sometimes until the actual day but he has been doing much better about activities so I told him. However, this was something new for him so it caused anxiousness.

He didn’t want to eat too much this morning but ate some cereal. He was extremely calm all morning and sat with me in my bed for a while playing games. I thought he might go back to sleep but he didn’t let it happen.

He was very excited about going to his new school and thankfully his “mouth no cranky” so off we headed on our adventure. I always ask for GPS directions even though I know where we are going so I will get traffic reports. I mistakenly said his old school’s name out of habit and he quickly corrected me with his new school’s name. He is always on it.

By nighttime, I think his mouth was feeling much better. I hope his tooth comes in quickly. He has a few more to go after this one but thankfully he got a good report from the dentist about it.

He is excited about going to spend the day with his grandma while I go to my chemo infusion tomorrow. I am ready for this round and I’m prepared for how to handle it this time. I’m thankful for how Owen is handling everything and he has grown so much.

He fell asleep quickly and I pray he sleeps all night. He hugged me before he went to bed and I’m thankful for how calm he has been. He has made incredible growth this summer. I’m excited for his growth and to see what this next year brings. Bring joy into your life every day and watch how your days change. Smiles to all and donut daze!

    I'm Lynn Browder. Owen's Mommy. The best moments in time are when I get to see the smile on his face and that giggle come from his heart.
