One more month until Graden's surgery.
Luckily, I finished my semester last week. Maybe that's why I noticed May 10th's arrival? I'm done for the summer. I can focus 110% on Graden, and my only obligation for the next few months is my family. Truthfully, I can't think much past June 10th anyway... One day at a time. Literally.
We have appointments, follow-ups, check-ins, therapies sporadically scheduled over the next few weeks. I'm trying to get all my "ducks in a row" and be prepared for us to travel to Riley. Landen will be staying with family (a few nights at a few different homes - he's excited but disappointed he can't be with G).
Today was my first official day off, and I hardly sat down. I am keeping busy, cleaning, organizing, getting caught up on emails, files, and anything that seems tedious that I can't find the time to do during the semester. I'm leaving my lesson-planning/course rearranging for when we are home after surgery. For now, I'm going to take a break... read a little, write a little, and have fun with the boys (all my favorite things).
I really want the next four weeks (exactly!) to be amazing for Graden, you know... just in case. If you feel like a play date, please let me know. I'm sure we'll be going to the zoo, the park, the splash-pad, baseball games, and wherever else I can think of... After his surgery, he'll be on "limited activity" for three months, so now is his time to enjoy summer.
We met our new therapist last week; she was wonderful with Graden. We will get another appointment in before surgery, too. I'm looking forward to working with her. She seems positive she will be able to help Graden with his "attention and impulse." Graden took to her immediately and was well-behaved during the hour-long consultation. (Proud mommy.)
Besides noticing the date roll around, life has been busy (but normal!) since my last post. The end-of-the-semester always keeps me occupied, and Landen started baseball season! So, the last few weeks, we've been adjusting to the game schedule.
We do have good news, though: We sold our home! (Did I tell you that yet?) We should be closing the first week of June. (Keep your fingers crossed we can get this done before surgery!)
Also, we passed our goal for our CSF Solo Walk/Fundraising for a new CSF Chapter in Fort Wayne! Check out our Team Page. There's still time to donate (end of May) or join our team! The more the merrier. :)
Other than that... there's not much to report. Thankfully. I'll check back in before we leave.
