Hello again! I’ve not completely given up on writing, it’s just not been my top priority lately. Between moving, getting settled, adjusting to the routine of our new middle schooler, additional therapies and preschool schedule, keeping up with homeschooling, along with the daily cooking, cleaning and laundry, it’s been a crazy few months. However, things […]
Growth Hormone Shots
It’s been about six weeks since Josiah started his growth hormone shots. The Shot: We call Josiah’s growth hormone shot a “pen poke” because it’s not like a shot or vaccine you get at the doctors office. It’s actually a pen that automatically dispenses his dose for us. We put a new needle on the pen […]

The Nightmare
Have you ever had a nightmare? You know, the one where you wake up in a panicky sweat, short of breath, convincing yourself it was just a bad dream? Yeah, one of those. If you’re like me, you take some time to breathe and calm yourself down until you’re able to relax and settle back […]
Camp 2016
I sat outside and watched as 80 5th and 6th grade campers played around the beautiful campgrounds of Camp MOCOMI. The temperatures were in the 90s, but a breeze and shade surrounded me so I was not miserable. My husband was in Dallas, my children were scattered with other caregivers for the week, and even […]
April/May 2016 Update
It’s been way too long since sitting down and writing! I realized over the weekend I hadn’t even updated about Josiah’s growth hormone testing. Although, some of that is because I don’t have much information to pass along! Josiah did have growth hormone testing in April, and he showed up at the hospital dressed as […]
