Lately, therapy has been basically exactly what I’ve needed it to be…even when I don’t know what it is that I really need. My life is intense. And getting…more intense. At one point, I just said something along the lines of “I need more help. Or support. Or a long break from all of this”. …

Did you know that the maximum volume of a 2023 Kia Carnival is only 45? And did you know, that in the throws of pretty extreme emotional distress, 45 is not nearly loud enough? Now, I’ve had some tough drives home from therapy. Drives when the music just HAS to be louder than the thoughts …
When you go to therapy long enough, a funny thing happens. You start realizing things.

It’s basically like e-stim on his neck and it should help him have an overall stronger swallow. We’re running hard and fast towards him getting a gtube, …

Well, for the night I had last night, I woke up in a surprisingly good mood. Like, it’s actually kind of shocking, and I’m super confused by it, but….a win is a win? Yesterday was a little bit hard, but it ended with therapy, which went really well. It was mostly just me talking for …
I’ve never been happier to see a Monday than I am today. For some reason, it’s just felt like Monday couldn’t come fast enough this week. Monday night is my therapy night, and sometimes it just really feels like that’s all I have. Like it’s the only thing that gets me through the week. I’ve …
This morning started off in very atypical fashion…but will now become part of our weekly routine. A few weeks ago, we switched my 6 year old son’s therapist. We’ve been trying to get in with this particular therapist for a little while, but when we were first looking, she didn’t have any openings. Fast forward …
