Thankfully Owen and I both slept better. I was up several times but he slept until almost six, proudly proclaiming he “slept upper night you did sleep upper night.” He is working through the proper wording I can tell.
The last few days have been rough. I hurt my foot yesterday but it feels better today. Radiation is no joke. I was doing pretty good with it and then it just hit me like I was still cooking inside. Thankfully today has been a much better day and I’m on the upward trend.
I didn’t think I should drive because of my foot but I knew Owen wanted to see his grandma so our village came to help us. He was so excited. I didn’t tell him until about an hour before our friend picked him up and didn’t stop talking about it. He loves his people fiercely and they make him so happy.
Another friend brought him home. He had fun he said and went into lots of details. He told me I made a mistake because I didn’t take him and I broke my foot. I told him I didn’t think it was broken. He said, “Good.” He always says “mistake” about anything different than he is used to. He has just started using this reference and applies it to himself and everyone else. I feel like it is part of a big trend for him with his communication skills.
When he came home he wanted so many hugs and told me about his big adventure. He was so calm. We started working on his exercises and I’m trying to give him more instructions on how to do things. I feel like it is clicking more. He is becoming quite the controversialist. He is smiling a lot more and so much calmer. So much progress. And he welcomes the progress. He isn’t fighting a lot of the strategies like he used to. He has so much more situational awareness as well.
With my foot still hurting I am going to stay home from church tomorrow but thankfully once again he is going to be picked up. I am thankful for our people and the amazing support we get. Owen had a wonderful day and I can certainly see the growth in him. Each day is a gift and I’m thankful for my sweet baby O. Find the music in your heart and sing out loud. The world needs to hear your joyous noise. Smiles to all and donut daze!
