The day started a tiny bit rough at four in the morning but by six the tides had changed and I was able to eat some food. Owen couldn’t help but hear me when I got up. He was in a good mood though and knew today was “August Oneth.” Oh, how I love my sweet baby O.
Thankfully he was very calm. Thankfully I was very calm. I took the medicine right away when I woke up and I know that was a good place to start. Plus, I fell asleep I think somewhere around nine and slept until almost four. It felt like a new world record.
I hadn’t told him that we were going to an event at the therapy clinic where he had music. I wasn’t sure if I would be feeling well enough to go but thankfully as the morning wore on my energy was up and all the food was staying down.
They were having bicyclists that traveled the country, sharing stories, and supporting people with disabilities stop by for lunch. It was incredible to see all the bicyclists and all the kids were so excited. Owen loved it but he was also thrilled that he got to see his best friend. As soon as he saw his friend get out of their vehicle he said, “That’s amazing.” His hands went to his ears, he squinted his eyes, and paced back and forth. He could hardly even talk to his friend. I was so thankful he got to see him. He talked about how he wasn’t going to be at his new school. I truly wish they could see each other more. The whole way home Owen asked to ride his bike and he talked about seeing all of his friends. He wasn’t pleased with the last turn I made but I’m trying to help him understand we can’t always go exactly the same way and do exactly the same thing.
Thankfully he recovered from his meltdown and was happy he was going to his other therapies. I am grateful for all the love his therapy places and therapists pour into him. He was a little elevated when we got to his therapy but they all work so well with him and understand when he has days like this. He had a great time at his therapies.
He asked for a cheeseburger, chicken nuggets, and fries on the way home. He ate all of it and then asked for pancakes. The dude is growing again. The connections and words were flowing and I was thankful. Bedtime didn’t come soon enough for me and was too quick for Owen. However, sleep came quickly for him.
Today was a much better day for me. I am learning how my body handles all of this and I’m going to make sure I listen to it. I’m so happy Owen got to see his best friend today. It was a magical moment for me to see him so happy. Believe in happiness. Believe in the hope for tomorrow. And watch your dreams come true. Smiles to all and donut daze!
