…that my son ROCKS! I have been so impressed by him and his maturity and strength. He has been handling all the shots with so much grace. It amazes me how he can watch the shots (even though we say not to) and does not even flinch! I do have to admit that my feelings are a bit hurt because Scott wants Chuck to give him the shots… but, I guess I really don’t mind if it’s easier for him. It’s just that mom’s supposed to be the caregiver, right?
The last “big shot” that he got was the worst by far. The HUGE needle got clogged so they had to inject him a second time. But, my boy handled it better than any other time for the BIG ONE.
I never would have thought that I would be talking about shots, genetic diseases, IGF-1, biweekly blood draws… wow.
...that my husband ROCKS! He has been handling the shots and the like so much better than I would have ever imagined! These are things that we didn't bargin for but, I am sure glad that he is in this with us!
…that I am sooooooo glad that school is almost out! Bring it on…. Summer!

Young and Old at the Same Time?
I received a friend request the other day on Facebook from a old friend from high school. Someone that I hadn't spoken to or heard from in 20 + years. He said that he had been looking for me for a long time and it took 10 minutes on Facebook. Crazy, this phenomenon!
What I find so weird is that it made me feel young and old at the same time. It doesn't feel like I have been out of high school for 25 years and that I am 43 years old. Today a Facebook friend request sent me down memory lane to the early eighties and working at a McDonald's for 3.75/hour. Listening to music by Def Leppard, Van Halen, and the like and cruising around town in a 1974 white Mazda station wagon that my parents had given me, thinking that I was sooooo cool. What a fun trip that was.
But, I had to return to 2009 and face the reality that I am 43. Which isn't all that bad really!!!!! I just never pictured myself being in my forties with gray hair, wrinkles and all the creaks and groans of my knees.
I wouldn't change my life or things that have happened to me. All the experiences that I have had make me who I am today and I kinda like who I am. Creaks, groans, gray hairs and all!
