I am going to apologize right off the bat. This post is going to be a bit of a hodge podge mess. Partially because I’m tired and partially because there really hasn’t been enough that happened over the past couple of weeks to categorize stuff. I apologize if this is a bit sloppy.

Grocery Shopping

James helped us with some grocery shopping a couple of weeks ago. It’s always pretty boring for him, and I think he dozed off a couple of times.

School

James started school about a month ago. Last week his teacher sent Stacy a picture she took of him on his first day back. We knew that James likes music, but we had no idea that he wants to be a model when he grows up. We will support him in whatever he wants to do.

Pediatric Stroke Warriors Shirts

Pediatric Stroke Warriors is selling shirts to raise money. James’ name is on the back so of course we had to buy some for the family. If you are interested in purchasing a shirt to help support this organization, you can order here:

Drug Study

The drug study that James is in is still going well. His seizures are continuing to lessen, although not as drastically as they did during the first two weeks of the study. As long as we continue to see improvements, no matter how small, at least we’re continuing to move in the right direction. One of the drawbacks of the study is that we need to meet with the neurologist every few weeks to check in and go over the seizure counts. Her office is in the city, and I don’t feel comfortable sending Stacy and James into the city by themselves, so I go with them. Fortunately, my work is kind of on the way, so we’ll drive separately to my work, drop my car off, and then go to the appointment. After the appointment, Stacy will drop me off at work and go home from there.

Anniversary

Stacy and I just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary. Seems like such a long time ago. Little did we know then how many curve balls life was going to throw at us. I think all of those curve balls made our relationship stronger.

Pumpkin Farm

And for the finale of this mess of a post, I present to you our trip to the pumpkin farm. Bounce Children’s Foundation is a great organization and frequently puts together events like this for special needs kids and their families. If you are able, please consider making a donation to Bounce so that they can continue with their mission to “transform the lives of chronically ill children, and their families, shifting all from surviving to thriving.”

I’m really sorry about how messy this post was. Hopefully the next one will be better.
