Just in case any one erred in judgment and thought we have it all together, I would like to take a moment and say that pretty IG photos and FB posts do not a clear picture make.
While yes, my life could be worse (you can say that to anyone - of course life can always get worse), we are absolutely and always grateful for what we live each day, but sometimes days with a multiply challenged child are tough and reality bites hard.
Cue the vomit.
And Liam's new horrible habit of locking his jaw and closing his airway. Gagging. Gasping for breath. Then doing it again 597 times before the day is done.
Now picture him doing that in the middle of the night.
Cue the picture of the sweet little family all with children your own kids ages...if they had lived. Cue the happy-go-lucky faces of said children who can pose and smile on cue, reminding you that your kid can't.
Some days, life is asking you to take a punch in the gut - again. That doesn't mean I hate it. On the contrary, I love my life and the priviledge it is to be the mom. But the daily grind of a challenged kiddo can be taxing and on those days I think I am grateful for the moments where I look like I have it all together. ;) I can pretend, right?
