A pretty fast transition for Ty, at first
but we planned to go to CCI for a follow up check and for Brian to get certified as a handler
and let's just say that kind of threw everything back to square one, just when we were making progress
We had some great great great moments,
and some very very very tough moments
Ty learned to boogie board and even went waist deep in the ocean for the very first time
and had a great time
Ty and Sarah had a fun time playing at the beach, which was definitely a highlight!
We were all at the beach together
As a family
more than once
but not without struggles
Brian was amazing, getting up with Ty every morning at 7:30am to go for an early walk with the dogs
That helped him a lot!
It was our Anniversary the day we came home
and let's just say it was a hard hard hard time coming home
Ty melted down, Sarah struggled all week with horrible tummy cramps
and we couldn't get home fast enough
at that point because
well, sometimes it's really really hard being on vacation!
So back to "life", school starts next week for the girls
have no idea what "will happen" with Ty
I just want him to be a in much calmer, happier, less angry state of mind!
Those major ups and major downs are really hard
both emotionally and physically and
well, I just know we are still really missing something in him
So vacation was a vacation in that we were not home
but not enough time has passed where we would say we want to go anytime soon!
Or at all,
Ever have a vacation where, well, everything was just really hard and makes you re think if the reward is enough ?
This trip, wasn't so much...
but yet we had some "nice moments" ..
ugh these are the ups and the downs of a kid with special needs,
another kid with current health issues that cause her a lot of pain and cramping and we can't get to the GI doctor soon enough
and I'm sure being "away from home" didn't help her one bit so lots of tears, lots of pain, and well, that sucks and brother is anything but sympathetic!
So yeah, lots of "mean" behavior towards her and I hate that... Brian hates that
and again tells us, boy he is off!!!
Every little thing made him explode out of no where
He was so volatile, we never knew what would set him off
and then he would retreat and lose himself into an activity like digging a hole, building the campfire, lego's, or boogie boarding
but it was always very temporary and short lived!
So, I'm ready for some relaxation, some calmness, some more predictable days!
