Owen woke on a mission, wanting his teacher, and all that the day held. I hadn’t told him that his grandma was picking him up because then that would be his focus for the day. We had about two hours before he had to go out to wait for the bus. He was happy and laughing. His incredible laugh is exactly what this momma’s heart needed. There is nothing better than hearing his pure joy from listening to animals making sounds on the farm. He came to me, showed me his tablet, and asked me “Wanna go to the farm.” Yes sweet baby O I do.
We got ready and went outside. He was asking about all the people he wasn’t seeing and all the people he was. It is hard for him to comprehend that he isn’t going to see all of the same people each time he goes to different places. He wants to see his best friend and it is hard for me to explain he is going to see him.
I let his teacher know that my mom would be picking him up from school today because I had my MRI. She took him to his music therapy and she let me know his therapist said he did well today. He was concerned about my mom’s pants but this is a constant thing with him and it has started amping back up.
He went back to her house after his first therapy appointment and I met them at his vision therapy appointment after my MRI. He did great at his appointment. He was very calm and he was able to do lots of the exercises on the first try. I love the progress he is making.
We came home and ate dinner. It was a very calm evening. I’m thankful for his calmer days. I can feel a maturity level in him and I’m glad that it is helping him adjust through some of our days. I pray for understanding for him as I go through my cancer diagnosis. Each day I talk to him about it. I pray for his understanding and ability to get through each change. Today was a success, repetitive words and all, but it was a victory in so many ways. Breathe through the hard moments and let the sunshine embrace the calm in your heart because tomorrow is a brand new day. Smiles to all and donut daze!
