The week in review.....

Loved being at the beach- incredible weather the entire time!

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!

And that is our week in review!
