I'm So Tired...
There are a lot of reasons I could list for my being tired, but mostly I am emotionally tired. Kamden has been really having a time of it lately and I'm not sure what exactly is going on nor how to help him.
Ever since school let out, he has been afraid of various things. He's afraid to sleep alone or even be alone to play for long because he is worried we are going to leave him. He doesn't want to stay places because he'll miss me or is scared I won't come back. This makes therapy days brutal. He begs me to not make him stay, tells me he'll miss me too much... In part, it is the change of routine. We had a snafu with his Medicaid at the start of the month and so he has been out of therapy for about three weeks. He's mostly just out of the habit, but it definitely taught me a lesson as far as double checking documentation and due dates.
Kamden went back to his therapy office this week and all of his therapists bragged on him for doing so well. He worked hard, he had made progress in physical therapy, and he was his usual charming self with his therapists. He also completed his level one swim lessons on Wednesday. We are going to be doing another round of swim lessons in the fall with the same instructor and he can't wait.
Also on Wednesday, I got him registered for first grade. He's got mixed feelings about it as he has been telling me all summer that he'll go back as long as it is to Kindergarten. I think once he realizes that everyone he was in school with last year is going to advance as well that he will be okay.
On my end of things, I've been extremely sick for the last week. I started with a 3-day long migraine that started last Friday and ended sometime Sunday night. By Tuesday, I had a horrible, hacking cough. It would come and go, but at night and in the morning it was always there and was painful. After finding out today that good friends I had been with in the last week or so had the same symptoms and that things had turned to walking pneumonia, I decided that I'd better not try to wait it out like I'd originally planned. 3 hours and a chest x-ray later I was cleared as far as the pneumonia, but was diagnosed with chronic bronchitis. I have had bronchitis 5 times in the last year. Pretty much any time I get a cold or strep, the next step is bronchitis. It's definitely nothing debilitating, but it explains why when I'd get sick that it'd hang on for what felt like forever.
No matter what happens, we'll make it through. The next 4 months will be insane at best.
