My Rock

If you know our backstory, you know Regan and I getting together was a long time coming. We both had our own relationships, but when it was our time to come together, our relationship took off fast and furiously. Did I pressure him? Maybe a little bit. But I knew what I wanted. Plus it got us where we are today.

And oh man, did I pick a good one. Through good times and bad, right? For sickness and health? Well here we were in the thick of it. The hardest thing we've been through in our 5 years.

The past 6 months especially have been rough. I am crying all the time. Sometimes for an unknown reason but he's always there to reassure me and pick me up.

At every appointment, he's the constant. He always has the perfect thing to say to me through my emotions.

I am so grateful that he is my partner, and that we get to raise these boys together.

He does everything for our family. He makes sacrifices to provide for our family. This allows me to stay home with Lincoln and Beckett and still live comfortably. For him, I am forever grateful.

Lots of things have changed in the last 6 months! We left our therapy clinic and it was heartbreaking. All our therapists in Washington have been monumental in Beckett's journey and there's no way he would be where he is today without them. We left all our neighbors on Dakota Ave that turned our time there into the most memorable of our military time. We packed up our house, and headed home to Texas! The first six weeks being in Texas were a whirlwind between airbnbs, hotels, families houses, while trying to find a house to buy, and Regan starting his job. So during that time I didn't try to accomplish anything for Beckett beyond getting both boys established with a pediatrician. Most of the other doctors Beckett needed to get into had to be sent referrals by his pediatrician anyway, so that was the best place to start. Their pediatrician is very sweet, but we've had a few hiccups with her office and their knowledge of Beckett's diagnoses which has been quite shocki...

Three-esta

In November, we had Beckett's Special Education evaluation. It was quite a crowd. In addition to me and Beckett, there was the Diagnostician, a Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist, 2 Speech Language Pathologists, 2 Vision Teachers, and a Teacher for the Deaf. Prior to this meeting, we were sent questionnaires to fill out regarding Beckett's development so they had some sort of idea about what where he was at when they did get to meet him.  After their introductions, all the specialists observed Beckett's movements, and interactions, while they all took turns asking questions about his development that were specific to their individual evaluations. I answered what felt like never ending questions while they all fawned over Beckett, and they sent us on our way. As the diagnostician was walking us out, I had a little check in the see if she thought he would qualify for Special Education services. She was nodding yes, as she made sure to tell me she'd let me know onc...

It's been a minute

We had a calm, restful summer and we are back into the school routine. Beckett is in ECSE again, with his same teachers who we absolutely adore. This summer I tried to take a step back from appointments as much as I could, because I really didn't want to spend all summer at the doctor with the kids. Back in the spring, he had a follow up at the Complex Care clinic, and we talked about how he had yet to get into the clinic we were on the waitlist for, so they suggested we try therapy (feeding and speech) through them (UTMB). I am the type of person who is able to tell very quickly the way I feel about someone. When the OT for feeding came in to observe him, I felt the energy shift. She watched him eat a graham cracker, and a fruit bar, and proceeded to tell me I was holding him back by giving him a bottle and I needed to take it away. I was immediately closed off and although I shouldn't have felt pressured to start therapy with her, I also felt uncomfortable in that room. Contr...
