Precious moments

I’ll be honest, I’m still feeling kinda crappy. That said, I’m feeling much better than I was last night or this morning.
Anyway, I was feeling well enough to snuggle with Mr. Emmett John. He can be sorta wiggly, so with something like the stomach flu, that doesn’t always work out well.
However, this afternoon Emmett snuggled with me on the couch and feel asleep.
I totally and completely love these moments. They are so peaceful and help to make it all worth it.

Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers for Elliott. The doctor says he should be fine.
We have no idea how it happened but it looks as though he should be better in a few days. If anything changes we need to return.
I appreciate the support.

Please say a prayer for Elliott

I hardly remember yesterday or maybe I’m just trying to forget it. Either way, something happened yesterday that may amount to nothing, but the school was worried enough try and have us come get him -although their attempts were in vain because Verizon must be having network problems and our phones never rang-.
Elliott has been complaining about his joints alot lately. He has an appointment with the rheumatologist in a few weeks.
Yesterday, he started complaints about his back during martial arts. When they looked at his back, there was a knot on his spine. This seemingly came out of nowhere.
Elliott says that he doesn’t know what happened but he never hurt himself.
Lizze currently has Elliott at the doctor’s to make sure everything is OK. They are going to take x-rays to get a better idea of what happened.
Elliott is really nervous and could use all the thoughts and prayers you can muster.
This may amount to nothing but because of where it is and how much it hurts, we have to be sure.

You may have noticed my absence today. I’m pretty sick at the moment. Maybe the stomach flu or food poisoning.
I haven’t been this sick in years.
I know I’m supposed to be working on some things with some of you, but this is the first time I have been able to move today without getting sick.
Hopefully I’ll be better in the morning.
Thanks for understanding.

Stealing From A Special Needs Family: update 5
41 day ago

Total loss. That is the final verdict and the unavoidable fake of the Lost and Tired family van.
The updated estimate came back this evening and was in the neighborhood of $3700. Keep in mind that the idiots that stole the van only had it for about 2 hours. I haven’t quite decided if this is a good thing or not. It’s bad for obvious reasons. However, depending on what the settlement ends up being, it could be a step in the right direction.
I produced all the receipts for repair work we have had completed on the van in the past 12 months alone. The receipts totaled out to $6,610. They said they will take that into account and give me a number some time tomorrow.
Hopefully, it’s enough to go car shopping.
I have decided not to be angry anymore about this. The boys are worried enough and they can pick up on my emotions.. If I can take a positive approach to this whole mess then the boys will hopefully absorb some of that positiveness as well.
Lead by example. That’s what I’m choosing to do with this.
